How to restrict user to see limited information by using role manager?

Hi,

I'm a beginner of asp.net and would like to design a web site (using web form) with login authentication. If I use the asp.net role manager, can I implement the below function? Can anyone give me some hints? Many thanks

Scenario:

There are two inputbox - one is inputbox_A and the other is inputbox_B in one page

Requirement:

I would like to allow user A can see both inputbox_A and inputbox_B. However, user B can only see the inputbox_A

Re: How to restrict user to see limited information by using role manager?

The simplest and quick way would to check if the user is in a given role then disabled (or hide) the textbox they shouldn't be able to access. You can do this in the Page_Load event.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       if (User.IsInRole("Role1"))
       {
            inputbox_A.Enabled = false;
       }
       else if (User.IsInRole("Role2"))
       {
            inputbox_B.Enabled = false;
       }
}

Hope this helps,
Stuart

Hello,

You can do something like this

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if(User.IsInRole("RoleB"))
   {
      inputbox_B.Visible= false;
   }
}
