Make Administrator Create Users From A Specific Role
Mar 19, 2011
I've been reading about asp web administration tool. I read about creating roles and stuff and forcing a controller to use authentication in order to be viewed. My question is, say create on the administration tool a user called Peter and I assign him the Administrator role. Then I want to create another role called LimitedAdministrator. But I want Peter to create new users on his View (I'm using MVC). Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do this.
I want peter to see on his page, like "Create user" and this user will be created as a LimitedAdministrator.
I'm comfortable sending emails to individuals in ASP.NET, but recently have needed to create a function to send an email to all users in a particular role.
A couple of problems I'm having are:
My shared hosting allows 200 emails per hour. Although not an issue at the moment it could be very soon, so how can I 'throttle' my application to not send out more emails then I'm allowed to?
If want to loop through the emails and send the messages in the background of my app. Rather than have a situation where logging off or closing the browser stops the process. point me in the direction of some articles about this type of thing, my searching so far hasn't given me great results.
Just to avoid misuse of website i have to make it specific for certain region. Like people could view menu across the world and only the people of mumbai can order online. I want a submit button that would be visible to only mumbai people.
I am using ASP.NET Forms Authentication for my application. I have made my Password Format "Clear", so no problems with the password encryption. I need to create a view(in SQL server) to display all Administrators in my System. ie aspnet_Roles.LoweredRoleName='administrator' The fields needed are UserName and Password
How to give the Permissions to the users & Administrator in the asp.net...For example : I just want to give the permissions to the users that screens only appear for User remaining will be hide in the menu. What are the proper steps for the permissions in asp.net ....
In my asp.net application, users are created by the administrators & those users need to log-in into the system using their own email/password or openid. So what is the best option to implement in this scenario?
I mean, as users can't register them self,do administrator required to associate each openid with the users & what kind of table structure do I need?
And do I also need the log-in interface like that of [URL] showing multiple types of authentication(default & openid from various providers)?
On the local development machine a number of users are administrators (using the asp.net administer website tool accessible via the login controls on the page).
When the site is copied to the production server, these users can still log in, but they are not administrators anymore.
I can use the same way as on the local machine to rectify this. And this works when the site is run of the development tool (visual web developer express 2010, i.e. local host).
However, the functionality (admin users can access certain websites (via if(User.IsInRole("Administrator") == true) is not working when the same code is run in the production environment real production server, not localhost). Somehow asp.net is not recognizing that users have been set to that role.
I just realized after i created a test account i was not in any roles. Is there a way to automically add new users into the role Users? Have i missed this some where?
Usually in sub-folder we will limit the access right to some roles and this feature requires pre-defined database schema.
However, if i still want to use this role feature of asp.net, but I do not like the pre-define database schema, I want to extract role information from my own database table and bind it to the role.
I have an application that uses Forms Authentication and Role Management. I have a few users with more than one role associated to the user. Based on certain roles, the navigation menu displays certain menu options.
Right now, if the user has more than one role, the menu shows the items that are in both roles instead of the items that are in the particular role that the user is logged into or currently set to.
I'm creating an Authentication Ticket to log the user in and I'm passing the active user role as follows:
authenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, UserName, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(20), False, UserRole)
Is there anyway to set the user to one particular role and have the application see the user in this single role instead of reading all the roles that the user is in?
I'm not sure if this is possible or not, I'm using Roles to limit what pages a user can access based on there assigned Role. My question, is there anyway to redirect the user to a specific web page based on thier role after they login.
For example:
If Bob logs in with Role="Automotive", I want him to be redirected to Auto.aspx.If sue logs in with Role="Clothing", i want her to be redirected to cloths.aspx.
I want to know how can I display role-specific markup using loginview?
I have these three roles, Admin, Editor, Moderator
Each and every user will belog to only one of the following role groups
1. Admin, Editor, Moderator (Some user/s will have all these three roles) 2. Admin, Editor (Some user/s will have all these two roles) 3. Admin, Moderator (Some user/s will have all these two roles) 4. Editor, Moderator (Some user/s will have all these two roles) 5. Admin (Some user/s will have all only this role) 6. Editor (Some user/s will have all only this role) 7. Moderator (Some user/s will have all only this role)
Now I want to display some links that will be specific for each role group to which one or more users will belong. So the links I want to display for these role groups are following
1. Admin, Editor, Moderator => Only Links of all the pages of Admin, Editor and Moderator 2. Admin, Editor => Only Links of all the pages of Admin and Editor 3. Admin, Moderator => Only Links of all the pages of Admin and Moderator 4. Editor, Moderator => Only Links of all the pages of Editor and Moderator 5. Admin => Only Links of all the pages of Admin 6. Editor => Only Links of all the pages of Editor 7. Moderator => Only Links of all the pages of Moderator
I have tried doing this using RoleGroups in Loginview but couldn't succed.
Can anybody let me know the correct way of going this?
I'm trying to bind a selected user's role to a dropdown-list. The purpose of this is to be able to change said user's role.
I'm attempting this inside a formview hooked up to a linqdatasource which contains a row from the aspnet_User table.
The dropdown list is hooked up to a linqdatasource of all the roles in the aspnet_Roles table (with DataValueField="RoleID", DataTextField="RoleName").
I figured it would be possible with something like:
I have an asp.net page with a gridview. I would like to make it so that certain columns in the gridview are displayed only if the user is in a certain role, that is, if HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole(XXX) returns true.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I would prefer a solution where I can easily put this in my ASP code and not in the page code-behind.
