RE:Find out current user role

Hello,

A user can belong to more roles than one, so there is a function for it in our API:

public static DataSet GetUserRoles(
string where,
string orderBy,
int topN,
GeneralConnection conn
)

And you can compare current user's ID in the where condition:

UserRoleInfoProvider.GetUserRoles("UserID = " + CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserID, "", 0, cn);

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
