    How to Add a group to a User

    I have just upgraded from 7.5.9 to 7.7 and see where the umbracoUserType and umbracoUser2app tables have been replaced with umbracoUserGroup and umbracoUser2UserGroup, which is fine.

    But for me, I need to insert/delete into this table based on what the user has in Active Directory.

    I could use Entity Framework to do my work but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything by not using the Umbraco UserService object. I did find a userService.AddGroup() but its read only.

    Question: Is there an Umbraco object API call that will allow me to add a group to an existing user?

    Thanks

    Tom

    Hii,

    You can easily add Groups to User with AddGroup function of IUser.

    For example:

    public void MakeAdmin (IUser user)
{
   IUserService _userService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.UserService;

   // how to remove a group from user
   user.RemoveGroup("writerAlias");

   // get Admin group
   var adminGroup = _userService.GetUserGroupByAlias("adminAlias") as IReadOnlyUserGroup;

   // how to add a group to user
   user.AddGroup(adminGroup);

   // save user
   _userService.Save(user);
}
