Hello, I am converting a project management system that i have created as a stand alone application to dnn modules and so far everything is going smoothly, i can create users\roles\upload files etc. though the api, what i am trying to achieve here is that upon creating a project by the project manager i want to automate the creation of a social group and add all the project resources to this particular group so they can collaborate and share documents etc.

I have looked almost everywhere and browsed the groups module to no avail (i am the issue here) so if some one can just give me a simple snippet on how to create the group from code behind and assign a user to it i would really appreciate it, thanks

btw i am using DNN 7.4.2 and everything i have done is webforms

Hi Sebastian,

Actually i found out right after posting here, I am using code below:

Dim NewRoleInfo As RoleInfo

            NewRoleInfo = New RoleInfo()

           NewRoleInfo.RoleGroupID = 0 'Kept on trying until i found out that -1 add the role to 'Global Roles

            NewRoleInfo.RoleName = "Group1"

            NewRoleInfo.Description = "A social Group"

            NewRoleInfo.SecurityMode = SecurityMode.SocialGroup

            NewRoleInfo.Status = RoleStatus.Approved

            RoleController.Instance.AddRole(NewRoleInfo)

The RoleGroupID was giving me hard time, Before seeing this i thought that SocialGroups are different than Roles and when i used to read anything about Security Roles i thought that when im done creating a social group i should assign it to a role

Thanks again

Aha, Thanks Sebastian i appreciate it
