Assign role at runtime for RegistrationForm control?

Posted by Community Admin on 29-Apr-2011 00:00

I am doing some validation when visitors are registering through the beta Registration Wizard control. I would like to intercept the area where users are assigned a role. Based on my validation, I would like to conditionally assign roles to the user. How can I do that?

Below is my attempt to inherit and override from the RegistrationForm control, but am stuck on how to make the control use my role for assignment instead:

public class CustomRegistrationForm : Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI.RegistrationForm

protected override void AssignRolesToUser(Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.User user)

UserProfileManager userManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

//GET USER PROFILE

var profile = userManager.GetUserProfile(user, typeof(SitefinityProfile).Name);

string company = profile.GetValue<string>("Company");

//GET ACCOUNT STATUS FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE

string status = null;

using (ApiService api = new ApiService())

status = api.QueryStatus<Account>(company);

//ADD TO ROLE BASED ON STATUS

switch (status)

case "Active":

//APPROVED, ASSIGN ROLE 1

break;

default:

//NOT APPROVED, ASSIGN ROLE 2

break;

base.AssignRolesToUser(user);

I think I need to do something like this:

...

If (//DO CUSTOM VALIDATIONS THEN)

this.Roles(???);

base.AssignRolesToUser(user);

...

How do I add my own roles to this.Roles? It looks like it only accepts a ItemInfoDefinition type.

Hello Basem,

You can use ItemId property of the role info (ItemInfoDefinition) to get the role.

I just realize this.Roles is read-only, plus constructing an ItemInfoDefinition from a role name was getting awkward. Here's what I ended up doing:

public class CustomRegistrationForm : RegistrationForm

protected override void InitializeControls(GenericContainer container)

base.InitializeControls(container);

this.RolesAssignedToUser += new UserOperationInvokedEventHandler(CustomRegistrationForm_RolesAssignedToUser);

protected void CustomRegistrationForm_RolesAssignedToUser(object sender, UserOperationInvokedEventArgs e)

if (something)

var roleManager = this.GetRoleManager(this.RoleProvider);

bool suppressSecurityChecks = roleManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks;

roleManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

var role = roleManager.GetRole(item);

roleManager.AddUserToRole(user, role);

roleManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = suppressSecurityChecks;

roleManager.SaveChanges();
