I am using an existng ASP.NET Membership & Roles for the members and have the login all working fine and can gain access to the secure area no problem.
The problem I have is with the navigation as depending what group you are in depends on what links you can see in hte navigation. e.g.
So I was wondering if there is something already within the Umbraco API which will allow me to get the roles assigned to the pages so I can build the navigation or to get a list of pages assigned to a role.
the HasAccess() method in the umbraco.library class should do the trick here. It checks whether the current logged on user has access to the requested page.
From c#, use intellisense to get the list of params, in xslt, use the insert value-of dialog, get the extension and select the method from the dropdown. it should list the params for that method as well.
Getting pages available to specific roles
Hi All,
I am using an existng ASP.NET Membership & Roles for the members and have the login all working fine and can gain access to the secure area no problem.
The problem I have is with the navigation as depending what group you are in depends on what links you can see in hte navigation.
e.g.
LoginPage
...page1 - roles: 1, 2, 3, 4
......page1a - roles: 1, 2
......page1b - roles: 3, 4
...page2 - roles: 3, 4
......page2a - roles: 3, 4
...page3 - roles: 3, 4
......page3a - roles: 4
......page3b - roles: 4
......page3c - roles: 4
......page3d - roles: 4
...page4 - roles: 1
So I was wondering if there is something already within the Umbraco API which will allow me to get the roles assigned to the pages so I can build the navigation or to get a list of pages assigned to a role.
Any help greatly appreciated
Tom
Tom,
