I use this code to get the current user in my Windows application:
AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.SetPri ncipalPolicy(Pr incipalPolicy.W indowsPrincipal );
WindowsIdentity wi = WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent();
Console.WriteLi ne(wi.Name);
now, I want get the windows groups this users belong. How can I do it?
If I have to search in the ActiveDirectory , how can I know if the user is in
an ActiveDirectory Domain and his path?
A lot of thanks

Why do you need this, can't you simply use the IsInRole method to check
group membership?

In the application I'm developing, when the application starts users can
select between different menus (menus are stored in a database). Every user
has access only to specific menus. I store also in the database for every
menu, the role (group) that can access to this menu (this role is an AD
group), and when the user start the application, I want populate a list whit
the menus user can access (only menus whit a group within user is). To do
this, I need a list of groups a user belongs.
Has somebody a better approach to do the same?

OK, I've Googled for this and cannot seem to quite find what I need.
So, I turn to the Gentle Geniuses here for help. Here is what I
need to do from within a script:
Given a username and a password (plain text):
1) Validate that the password is correct for that user *without actually logging in*.
2) If the password is valid, return a list of all the groups the user belongs to.
Otherwise, return some error string.

Here is my function to change a users permission level in the database.
This relates to an Access database secured using Access security.
This function is called if the end user changes a staff members access.
The two options are 1 = Normal User and 2 = Super User.
It gets down to the line
..Users.Append usr
and generates an error 3129 Invalid Operation.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get the "groups" of a user that belongs to a domain by
just passing the user's userID & domain. Is this possible?
What I tried, and is working is the ff code ( i can get both local &
domain groups), but in Windows Application.
When I tried converting it to ASP.NET, it only gets the local
groups.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
