Assigning Application Roles - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Does anyone know how I can via the API assign a user the roles like "Editors" or "Authors"?

Using the RoleManager.GetManager().GetRole("Editors") is not supported. So one can't call the AddUserToRole() method.

I can't find my way around the documentation and pinpoint the proper keyword to search for.
The one thing I keep hitting is this:

"application roles – these are similar to user roles, but they are assigned to

users automatically based on predefined conditions."

But no clues as to what those conditions are. I can set the roles via the GUI, but I need to do it through code.

Any help is most welcome.

Hello Anders,

Here is a sample code

RoleManager roleManager = RoleManager.GetManager("AppRoles");

roleManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

var role = roleManager.GetRole("Administrators");// or any other AppRole

roleManager.AddUserToRole(user, role);

roleManager.SaveChanges();
