Looking to expose the roles in order to do some authorisation control.

Seems using boardcontext I can get most of the existing ones .membershipuser .isforumadmin etc (please correct if i'm wrong).

I have added two (Crew and Owner if you want to know), and want to access those to change website behaviours.

How to?

Thanks a millon!

If you want to check if the Current user is part of a role use ...

await BoardContext.Current.Get<IAspNetUsersHelper>().IsUserInRoleAsync(BoardContext.Current.MembershipUser, "Crew");

ok that is working pretty well, for example currently using this in pages needing to have user logged in:

bool RegUser = await BoardContext.Current.Get().IsUserInRoleAsync(BoardContext.Current.MembershipUser, "Registered Users");

if (!RegUser)

{ Nav.NavigateTo("/Forums/Account/Login", true); }

but.....

what about banned and suspended users, are they considered Registered Users? probably a noob question or easily found (happy to be shown where to look for this kind of thing, struggling with trawling so asking early!)

thanks again getting closer and closer to first looks :)

if you want to check if the user is registered just check for guest

if (BoardContext.Current.IsGuest)
{
    Nav.NavigateTo("/Forums/Account/Login", true);
}

Banned Users are deleted users and are treated as guest, and as suspended users they only see a blank page.
