Hey Gary,

Have you tried this on a live server - I tried a number of these combinations in the past - and many of them work fine on my dev system - but fail on live server environments with more agressing caching.

Cheers

Westa, I made some updates to the code that, actually, seems to make it work better.

I moved the call to the set permissions to the Page_Init

These are the steps that I used now, that seem to work real-time ever time
I can post the code if you would like, but here are just the steps for now

1. Clear the module permission cache for the tab
    DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.DataCache.ClearModulePermissionsCache(this.TabID);

2. Get the current user info (UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo())

3. Call to set the roles by doing the following
     -Using the roles controller add and remove roles
     -Retrieve the portal roles cookie value
     -Reset the portal roles cookie value to the new value.

4. Set the "Context" User info with the new roles

5. Update the user's account wiht the new roles (UserController.UpdateUser())

I had most of the code in the Page Load before, but now that I have moved it to the page init and added some more steps, it seems to be working better now

Before I did this update, the roles would get removed real-time, but there was still about a 10 sec delay on adding the roles and the modules/action buttons realizing that the user has the correct roles.

Let me know if you would like me to post some code snipets.

Hi Guys,

I tried Gary's solution but it didnt seem to work. An alternative that works for me is:

System.Web.HttpCookie cookie = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["portalroles"];

                    if (cookie != null)
                    {
                        if (cookie.Value.Trim().Length > 0)
                        {
                            //Retrieve the roles
                            FormsAuthenticationTicket roleTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(cookie.Value);
                          
                            //Set the roles
                            string cached_roles = roleTicket.UserData;

                            if (cached_roles != null)
                            {
                                cached_roles = cached_roles.Replace(oldRole, "");
                               
                                //Add the role name to the list
                                cached_roles = String.Concat(cached_roles, ";", roleInfo.RoleName);
                                cached_roles = cached_roles.Replace(";;", ";");

                               Response.Cookies["portalroles"].Value = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(new FormsAuthenticationTicket(roleTicket.Version, roleTicket.Name, roleTicket.IssueDate, roleTicket.Expiration, roleTicket.IsPersistent, cached_roles));
                            }
                           
                        }

                    }
