hay all, i'm trying to add a role that is already added to the portal to a user who is created dynamically ..

i'm using this code, but it doesn't update the database ..

             DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController objRoleController = new DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController();
             objRoleController.AddUserRole(0, user.UserID, 90, System.DateTime.MaxValue);

any one can help, than all .

I am also trying to do something pretty similar.

I have assigned a role to each of the 10 modules that are displayed on the front page of my portal.

I have written a module that displays each of these roles next to a check box.

The user can then tick/untick which modules they want displayed.

I then add or delete roles at realtime depending on their choices.

My issue is that the role changes are not reflected imediately. The user has to log out and log back in to see the changes.

On another thread I was informed that the user/module roles are stored in a cookie and therefore I cannot change roles dynamically at realtime?

If anyone can help it would be REALLY appreciated

Ummmm... All I can say is holy crap. Spent hours upon hours on that exact problem this past week. Tried AddUserRole, found that UpdateUserRole worked a little better and I even tried on my own to call the UserLogin function.... Funny that I was sooo close.  

Didn't think to redirect to the current page.  :-)

Thanks. You da man!

P.S. - This was needed b/c I've implemented a set of modules that use data from an existing application and database. So it was neccessary to leverage the already existing autentication database housing the existing users, and so I decided to write my own login module that generates the user and the role on the fly based on the user's role in the existing system and also a bit of their account state information. Allows me to very nicely show/hide a set of tabs based on existing application data...  Looking forward to 5.0 and the ability to deny access based on a role. Would love to see versioning as a part of the core though... Whew what a long and rambling PS. ;-)
