I am extending the user profile by storing this additional info in a separate table from sf_users. By doing this I have created a custom control to manage this information and I would like to display the specific user's roles. Here is the code that I have, but it does not seam to be populating with the correct data:

RoleManager roleManager = RoleManager.GetManager(RoleManager.GetDefaultProviderName());

IQueryable<Role> roles = roleManager.GetRolesForUser(user.Id);

Is this the correct way of "getting" the roles if i just loop through the "roles" collection?

Thanks,

Alex Lorenz

Hi Alex,

The code you have looks fine. Here are some notes that might help

RoleManager.GetManager("AppRoles") - returns built-in roles. There are predefined roles that are part of applicationRoles

var roleManager = RoleManager.GetManager("AppRoles");
var roles = roleManager.GetRoles();

The custom roles you created are part of the Default provider.

var rolesForUser = roleManager.GetRolesForUser(SecurityManager.GetCurrentUserId());
