in addition to what Tom said, with IsInRole , you must know the group name,
as there's no mechanism to retrieve all the group to which a user belongs.
you can use reflection to retrieve the list of all the groups a user belongs
to, but it should not be used in production app since it require elevated
previleges (bcoz of Reflection). Anyway it's a cool way to retrieve the
exact name of all the groups...
----- C# code ----
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity WI =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt();
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal WP = new
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(WI);
Type TT = WP.GetType();
FieldInfo PI = TT.GetField( "m_roles",BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Instance );
string[] ROLES = (string[])PI.GetValue(WP);
string AllRoles="";
foreach (string Role in ROLES)
{
AllRoles +=Role + "\n";
}
MessageBox.Show( AllRoles);

hope it helps

What you can get is the Groups that the user is in with theUser.IsInRole.
You will need to know what permission the groups have, but that is all
that is available to the IDE

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... I know I can get the current username through the System.Environment
class, but I can't seem to find where I can retrieve the user's role /
permission level (i.e. Admin, power user, etc).
If anyone has done this and can shed some light on the issue I would
appreciate it.
TIA,
Matt
