Hi

I have an intermittent problem that I have not been able to resolve.  I create users dynamically and assign roles to them as appropriate. This is achieved via a call from a remote service.  Once created, users are redirected to the site and logged in automatically.  As part of the log in process, I determine which specific role a user is in, and direct them to a tab appropriate to that role.  Mostly this works fine, there are only a handful of roles of interest, and all have tested correctly.

However, every now and then, I get through the initial user creation process, and I can see that the user profile has been correctly created with the appropriate role assignment (via the admin user management control) however, I the role of interest to me does not appear in the objUser.IsInRole("") call.

My (truncated) code looks like the following

objUser.Roles = rc.GetRolesByUser(objUser.UserID, PortalId)
If (Not (objUser.Roles Is Nothing)) Then
    If objUser.IsInRole("xx") Then
tabName = "xx"
   ElseIf objUser.IsInRole("yy") Then
 tabName = "yy"

  'etc ...
    End If

Dim homeTab As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo = x.GetTabByName(tabName, PortalId)
If Not (homeTab Is Nothing) Then
Return "default.aspx?TabId=" + homeTab.TabID.ToString()
Else
_logger.Log(LogLevel.Debug, "Couldnt find tab name {0} !!", tabName)
Return String.Empty
End If 

I know all the roles exist in the system, and I can see wherever this fails that my user has been created correctly and been assigned to a role, so why does this code mostly work correctly, but occasionally fail?

Any assistance greatfully received..

Hi Dwayne

Thanks for the reply.  By the time this code is executed, the user is already logged in, so I already know the user, userid etc. THe GetRolesByUser method was added to see if it solved the missing role problem, however the issue remains.  As mentioned, it is an intermittent (but none the less important) issue that I need to resolve.  I can see from the admin user control that the user has been cretaed and is a member of one of the roles that I am looking for, and yet, that role does not appear in the full list of Roles (by iterating through the objUser.Roles array) and therefore never finds an appropriate match in objUser.IsInRole("xx") - Other roles do appear for the user, so it's not as if I'm not getting anything back at all.  Very strange..
