Using Roles to Restrict Access?

[Mitchel]

I am looking at creating a menu that will display only specific elements to users in a specific role.  Is there an example of this?

[Gary Mazur]

I am looking for this too!  ASPMenu/Sitemap is somewhat limited.

Hello,

Please, find attached a small demo project showing how to access roles and custom attributes of a SiteMapDataSource in the ItemDataBound event of RadMenu. If you need to display only certain nodes based on the current item's role, you can set the e.Item.Visible property.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thanks for the demo.  Is there any such demo of RadMenu setting Roles on buttons using the normal XML/DB structure RAD Menu has instead of the .Net sitemap?

Also, where can I get a copy of the files in the bin folder of this demo?  Telerik.Web.UI

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Attached is a project showing one possible solution with XmlDataSource and roles. You can get the latest version of Telerik.Web.UI from your client.net account.

Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

So I see that Peter has provided a solution if you're using a Site Map DataSource, but what if you are using a Database DataSource?

Thanks!

Hi Joseph,

In a DataSource scenario, you can keep the Roles into a separate data column in the data table and access them directly from there. You can see a similar data-accessing approach in the following live demo:
