Hi All,
I'm having trouble programmatically adding new roles. AddRole always returns -1 and no exceptions are thrown. I've had a look around and can't find much information on doing this. Is there anything I'm missing from my code below?

private int AddRole(string RoleName)
{
        PortalSettings ps = dnn.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings();
        DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController rc = new RoleController();              
        RoleInfo ri = new RoleInfo();      
        ri.RoleName = "Testing";       
        ri.PortalID = ps.PortalId;
        return rc.AddRole(ri); // result is -1
}

What I want to be able to do is create a new role and then add a user to that role. It doesn't have to be on the fly (I understand there are some cache issues there?) as the user will not be logged on at the time.

Using DotNetNuke 4.4.1.

Thank you,

Hi imagemaker - setting RoleGroupId to -1 worked like a charm. Thanks for your help!
