Image only for a group of user

Hallo to everybody,
I added an element in my left column not adding content but direclty in layout.master.
It is an image, I added it after Panel id="divLeft" to seem it like a last element of the menu. But now I want that this image must be shown only for a group of user for exemple Administrators.
How can I do it?

Thanks

Re: Image only for a group of user

You should wrap the logic to show and hide the image in a UserControl, then put the user control in layout.master instead fo directly putting the image.

In the pageload event of usercontrol you can do something like this.Visible = WebUser.IsAdmin;

That will hide the whole user control unless the user is in the Admins role.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Image only for a group of user

And where I find these variables like "IsAdmin"? If I need to apply the restriction to more groups? (I also have new groups created by me)

Re: Image only for a group of user

In that case you can use WebUser.IsInRoles("Admins;MyCustomRole;MyOtherCustomRole");

It will resolve true if the user is in any of the roles separated by semi colons.

Hope it helps,

Joe
