How to retrieve the currently logged in user role name in textbox using vb.net ?
iam currently using
TextBox1.Text = Roles.GetRolesForUser(User.Identity.Name)
om page load event but it is highlighted by a blue line in visual studio 2008
I am trying to create a web application that shows a list of events for different users. I have 2 different user 'roles': admin and member.
Is there a way of getting the current logged in users role? i have tried:
[Code]....
But it doesnt seem to be catching the certain user types, it always shows all of the events.
I am trying to get the role of the user which just logged in the website. I am doing this:
string userRole = Roles.GetRolesForUser(LoginUser.UserName).ToString();
but that returns 'System.String', not the real role :(.
What am I doing wrong?
P.S. LoginUser is the login control
I want to know how can i redirect a user to a different page when he tries to access a page restricted to another role?
The scenario is as follows:
I have a folder "Gestao" that only allows users in role "Administrator"
[Code]....
If an anonymous user tries to access that folder he is redirected to the login page, but if a logged in user whose role is "friend" tries to access this folder he is also redirected to the login page. I want to redirect him to a page showing a message that he has no permission to access that page/area.
How can I do that? Should i have code on the Page_load event of the login page checking the user role and then redirect him to the correct page? Or is there some otherway to do this?
In my website i am creating a custom FormsAuthentication ticket during log in. This ticket stores the userid but i also need to specify the role of the logged in user. How do i do it?

View 1 RepliesI deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder.
So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
I have the membership provider and the create user with tow steps, one of the steps contains a custom registration form, for each created user data will be in the database, and there is an account page shows the data that the new created user did insert during the registration process on the custom registration page,
the problem, when the user is created and logged into his account page, this account page shows only the information for the first created user, not the info on the logged in user , but the logged in user data still saved in database and not showing on his account page?
This is web.confg code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I'm trying to allow logged user who are in department XYZ to perform some task for my third party App. I have two SQL tables named Users & UserList. The third party app (GoldMine) graps the USERNAME from the Users table and store it as UserID which I then referecnce SessionID. The UserList table has two columns (GM_UserName & Department) which I'm interested in. When a user login into the 3rd party app (GoldMine), i then compare the USERNAME (from Users table) to GM_UserName (from UserList table) and see whether GM_UserName is in = 'Dept XYZ'. Take a look at the SQL query below.
sqlDept = "SELECT USERNAME FROM Users LEFT JOIN UserList ON UserList.GM_UserName=Users.UserName WHERE UserList.Department ='Dept XYZ'"
I'm able to do this.
If Session("Userid") = "TestUser1" Or Session("UserID") = "TestUser2" Then Do this Else Do that End If
BUT unable to do this...
If user's Department = 'Department XYZ' Then
Do This
Else
Do that
End IF
I want to display a menu (which will be strongly typed with it's own unique model) across all pages only if a user is logged in.What menu items are available depend on the user's role and also I'll need to hit the repository to get numbers like "x Messages", etc
Been scratching my head for a simple solution here. Don't want to create something that need changes all over the place.All my controllers derive from a BaseController, all my Models from BaseViewModel....probably where I'll be implementing functionality for this.
I've made a membership by create user wizard. everything is good but after click on finish register button, when page redirect to index .aspx, this page thinks tht user logged in. whereas user didnt login just added to DB.here is the code:
protected void CreateUserWizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs args)
{
try
{
Membership.CreateUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, CreateUserWizard1.Password, CreateUserWizard1.Email);
Response.Redirect("index.aspx");
[code]...
in index.aspx just have a login name and login status control. tht's it.
I have LOGIN PANEL for student, and I want to disable it in different page. And only the admin can enable and disable it. I dont know the logic behind here.
View 1 RepliesI would like to change the logged in user to another user temporarily to do some process.

I want to implement access control for usercontrols depending on user role(s), I want to do it on the control base class, in such way that on every user control I only need to set a string with allowed roles to see the user control
This is how an user control class may look like:
public partial class SimpleMenu : MyUsrControlBase
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)[code]...
How to set up user control visibility from the base class depending on the validation result?Also which event in the user control is the best to set the roles?
AlloweRoles = "RoleA, RoleB"
is there anyway I could create a function that receives and username and the function returns if the user is currently logged in into the application?
View 2 RepliesI am in the process of creating a user control that enables content areas of our web application to be editable. The control utilizes the asp.net membership/role providers and incorporates a LoginView that only displays the edit link if a user has logged in and is a member of the desired role. What I would like to be able to do is pass the "role" as a property of the control so it can be set dynamically and does not have to be hard coded into the control if I use elsewhere in another application.
