Question

I am familiar with:

WebSecurity.IsCurrentUserInRole("Admin")

But this does not seem to work any more. Is there another way I can check in my controller if a user is in a role when I am using SimpleMembership?

Answer 1

You can use

if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{

}

And webConfig

<system.web>
    <roleManager enabled="true" />
    ....

After Comment

you can use something like this:

foreach (string rolesForUser in Roles.GetRolesForUser(User.Identity.Name))
{
    if (User.IsInRole(rolesForUser))
    {

    }
}

I think there is an elegant way to do this…
