Remarks

The IsUserInRole method calls the RoleProvider.IsUserInRole method of the default role provider to determine whether the currently logged-on user is associated with a role from the data source for the application that is specified in the ApplicationName property. The currently logged-on user is identified by the HttpContext.User property of the current System.Web.HttpContext, or by Thread.CurrentPrincipal for non-HTTP hosting environments. If no user is logged on, an exception will be thrown. Only the roles for the application that is specified in the ApplicationName property are retrieved.

If CacheRolesInCookie is true, then roleName may be checked against the roles cache rather than the specified role provider.

Remarks

The IsUserInRole method calls the IsUserInRole method of the default role provider to determine whether a user name is associated with a role from the data source for the application that is specified in the ApplicationName property.

If username is equal to the current logged-on user and the CacheRolesInCookie property value is true, roleName may be checked against the role cache rather than the specified Provider.
