Method

Description

Parameters

Return Type

IsInRole

Determines whether the user belongs to the group with the specified name. Returns True if the current principal is a member of the specified Windows user group; otherwise, returns False. Note the role input parameter is case insensitive and should indicate whether the role is built-in, machine-specific, or domain-specific using this format:

BUILTIN\RoleNameHere

MachineName\RoleNameHere

DomainName\RoleNameHere

If the role parameter is supplied without the BUILTIN, MachineName, or DomainName specifier, the method defaults to BUILTIN.

Note: The spelling for the BUILTIN roles in string format differs from the spelling used in the WindowsBuiltInRole enumeration. For example, the spelling for an administrator in the enumeration is "Administrator", not "Administrators".

See the MSDN WindowsPrincipal.IsInRole Method (String) topic for a list of built-in local groups.
