Hi,

I am using DNN 9.6

I have 5 custom user roles. I need to check if the currently logged-in user is in those custom user roles. And display the user role name. We consider one user has only one custom user role at a time. The user can be within one of user roles or not. We need to avoid the default DNN user roles. We have defined what are the custom user roles.

Ex:
custRole1
custRole2
custRole3
custRole4
custRole5

Please, can you help me to write this code in C# in a custom module or in a skin object?

I really appreciate your support.

Thank you!

I recommend you jumping into GitHub (https://github.com/DNNCommunity) and creating a Pull Request (or maybe a new Issue) and you can mention that you're willing to support the programmer's time and perhaps you can get someone to help you out building this custom module.

I can build the module if I can have the simple code for this request.

If you have access to the UserInfo object for the user account, you can use the IsInRole() method.

The Theme is (still) in VB, but I guess you'll get the point.
I added a Role filter example:
