How to add user to user group in code

Hi,

I need to be able to have an authenticated user add themselves to a specific user group (role) once they've entered an access code which I am authenticating elsewhere. 

How can I do this in code?  Is there a method I can use to add a user to a role programmatically?

Thanks,

 

Michael

Re: How to add user to user group in code

I just implemented something similar--our users are authenticating via Active Directory, and I created a custom User Registered handler to auto-assign default role(s) to newly registered users. To add a user to a role, call Role.AddUser() with appropriate parameters. To refresh the user's roles on the fly (so they don't have to log out and back in), call mojoRoleProvider.ResetCurrentUserRolesCookie().

You can find examples of Role.AddUser() in many places in the source code.

Hi Jamie,

That's excellent - thanks very much for the quick response!  For some reason I had not spotted the Role class - I don't know how.  Anyway, that, and the cookie reset method, will do exactly what I need to do, so thanks again.

Re: How to add user to user group in code

Hi again,

Sorry, but are we talking about mojoPortal.Business.Role?  I don't see a AddUser() method in that class.  There are methods like CountOfUsers() and HasUsers() but nothing relating to adding new ones that I can see.  I don't have the source code at the moment so I can't check in there (but I will download it now)...

Oh, sorry, it is there but it's a static method!  How strange.... anyway, I can use it...

Yes, that's the one. When you have the source, check out Web\Components\mojoSetup.cs to see it in action:

Role.AddUser(adminRole.RoleId, adminUser.UserId, adminRole.RoleGuid, adminUser.UserGuid);

There may be alternative methods to add users to roles, but this is the one that I am using.
