Facing Issue while getting user claims using ClaimsPrincipal

Question

Hi ,
I am using SharePoint 2013.

var principal = ClaimsPrincipal.Current;

Above code used to get users claim.
Newly Created group not getting in principal variable.

Can you please help, why newly created group not getting in principal variable.

Thanks.

Answer 1

User group memberships are cached. If you change the groups a user is a member of then they generally need to log out and back in again to refresh the group memberships.

I've not confirmed nor have I ever heard that Windows was updated to have the group memberships periodically updated, like GPOs, so this is the only way I know to refresh group membership.

Hi @NikhiBadhe-0141,

You can get all group claims information like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
  
            try  
            {  
  
                // Get the claims  
                 var cp = Page.User as IClaimsPrincipal;  
                if (cp != null)  
                {  
                    DataRow dr;  
                    DataTable claimsTable = new DataTable();  
                    claimsTable.Columns.Add("Type", typeof(string));  
                    claimsTable.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(string));  
  
                    IClaimsIdentity ci = (IClaimsIdentity)cp.Identity;  
                    foreach (Claim c in ci.Claims)  
                    {  
                        dr = claimsTable.NewRow();  
                        dr["Type"] = c.ClaimType.ToString();  
                        dr["Value"] = c.Value.ToString();  
                        claimsTable.Rows.Add(dr);  
                    }  
  
                    claimsGrid.DataSource = claimsTable;  
                    claimsGrid.DataBind();  
                }  
            }  
            catch (Exception ex)  
            {  
                this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(ex.Message));  
            }  
        }

the code above will work only when you are logged in under account of newly created user. If code runs under different account you need to get reference on this user from the web first:
string loginName = "...";
var user = web.EnsureUser(loginName);
