IsInRole always false

[Guest]

Hello,
username=user.identity.name
trueFalse=User.IsInRole("myDomain\Administrators")?
First line return user name as administrator but second line returns false? What might be the reason? Or how does isInRole work?
Thanks,
Jim.

Is username returning a local machine administrator rather than domain
administrator? Since you didn't specify that username is
myDomain\Administrator, it isn't clear. If the user is a domain
administrator, it should work just like you have it.

If you are programming in C#, then I think you need to escape the "\". Try
User.IsInRole("myDomain\\Administrators").

Hi Dale,
User.Identity.Name returns "myDomain\myUseranme"
but both User.IsInRole("MyDomain\Administrator") and

User.IsInRole("BUILTIN\Administrator") returns false

any Idea?

Did you try doubling the "\"?

User.IsInRole("BUILTIN\Administrator") returns false

Did you try doubling the "\"?

Sorry, didn't notice you were using VB.NET until after I posted this.
