UserControl View Control by Role Permission

Hi, I understand that in each module we can use role permission to restrict module view. Is it possible that by using role permission setting to restrict several UserCntrol in one module? What I mean is in one module maybe have several usercontrol. For certain usercontrol i created, only certain of role permission can view this usercontrol and other role cannot and this applies to other usercontrol as well. Is this all can be done by setting in Module and not coding behind? Thanks and have a nice day Regards Caesar

Re: UserControl View Control by Role Permission

Hi Caesar,

I'm not exactly sure which question you're asking, but here are responses to the two possibilities:

1) If you have a constant, fixed set of roles with which you wish to restrict usercontrol visibility (e.g.; registered users only), you may do so in the Page_Load event of the usercontrol as follows:

this.Visible = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().IsInRole("Registered Users")

2) If you are looking to allow administrators to specify usercontrol visibility as part of the module settings page, you will need to add custom permission functionality to the module definition. Fortunately, DNN has a very simple mechanism for allowing this. Read the blog entry here for more details.

Hope this helps!

Brandon

Re: UserControl View Control by Role Permission

Thanks Brandon for your reply. 2) is my solution.

However i face some problem when implement it. I already package it out the module i do custom module permission. However when i try to install the package it shows me his code return Null value

modDef.GetModuleDefinitionByName(desktopInfo.DesktopModuleID, Definition.ModuleFriendlyName)

Part of the code as Below:

Dim desktopInfo As DesktopModuleInfo = desktopMod.GetDesktopModuleByModuleName(Definition.ModuleFriendlyName) Dim modDef As New ModuleDefinitionController() Dim modDefInfo As ModuleDefinitionInfo modDefInfo = modDef.GetModuleDefinitionByName(desktopInfo.DesktopModuleID, Definition.ModuleFriendlyName)

How come the dektopInfo.DesktopModuleID have Null value? I thought when install it should already register the moduleID before upgrade.

Anyone face this error before?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Regards Caesar
