How do I check the current role of a user....be it the logged in user or some other user registered in the portal?

You could try

PortalSecurity

.IsInRole(RoleName)

I don't want to check IsInRole() because that would only give me a boolean back if they have that role or not.

I want to use getrolebyusername

There is a method in RoleController.vb located at DotNetNuke.Security.Roles that is named GetRolesByUser but I don't have access to that method.

All I am comming up with for DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController is the following methods. Its like I'm not getting to use the who class????

DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.AddRoleGroup
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.DeleteRoleGroup
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.Equals
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.GetRoleGroup
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.GetRoleGroups
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.ReferenceEquals
DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController.UpdateRoleGroup

Ok I finally got it to work.



Here is the code.


            DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.OnlineUserInfo mRoles = new DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.OnlineUserInfo();
            DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController mUserRoles = new DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController();
            DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo mUser = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo();
            string showroles = "";
            foreach (string i in mUserRoles.GetRolesByUser(mUser.UserID, mRoles.PortalID))
            {
                showroles += i.ToString() + ",";
            }
            this.Label1.Text = "UserName: " + mUser.Username;
            this.Label1.Text += "<br> FullName: " + mUser.DisplayName;
            //this.Label1.Text += "<br> UserID: " + mRoles.UserID.ToString;
            this.Label1.Text += "<br> Roles: " + showroles;

UserID and PortalID are available from the context so it should be simpler. In vb i only use this:

Dim myRoles As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController
Dim myRolesString As String() = myRoles.GetRolesByUser(UserId, PortalId)

 


Do you know the truth when you hear it?
