Hey all,

The following code is some test code that I've put into a user control to experiment with.

01.protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
02.
03.     // Get membership user
04.     User user = (User)Membership.GetUser(UserNameTextBox.Text, true);
05. 
06.     // Get Sitefinity role manager
07.     var roleManager = RoleManager.GetManager();
08. 
09.     // Get all roles
10.     var roles = roleManager.GetRoles().ToList();
11. 
12.     // Get all roles for a particular user
13.     var rolesForUser = roleManager.GetRolesForUser(user.Id).ToList();
14. 
15.     // Putting this into a string for simple testing and spitting out to an asp:Label
16.     string strRoles = string.Empty;
17. 
18.     int i = 0;
19.     foreach (Role role in rolesForUser)
20.     
21.          bool printComma = i != rolesForUser.Count() - 1;
22.          strRoles += role.ToString();
23.          strRoles += printComma ? ", " : string.Empty;
24. 
25.          i++;
26.     
27. 
28.     string data = string.Format("information [user: 0, creation_date: 1, roles: 2]", user.UserName, user.CreationDate.ToString(), strRoles);
29.     LabelDisplay.Text = data;   
30.

Why is 'roleManager.GetRoles()' only returning roles I've created and not the five default roles included with an install of Sitefinity?

The default roles I'm speaking of is: 'Administrators', 'Authors', 'Editors', 'BackendUsers', 'Designers' which is not be retuirned by the 'roleManager.GetRoles()'.

Any reasons why this would occur?

Hello Doug,

I think that this is explained in this post.
