DNN: Programmatically Assign Role to User In Dotnetnuke

Assigning role to user programmatically can easily be done using DotNetNuke's RoleController in your code. It means without storing role info in database, and programmatically assign a role rights to the user. You can call AddUserRole function in RoleController to perform this action the below code might help you in achieving this

RoleController objRoles = new RoleController();
RoleInfo objRole = new RoleInfo;

// autoassign user to portal roles

var arrRoles = objRoles.GetPortalRoles(user.PortalID);

foreach (var obJrole in arrRoles) {
if (objRole.AutoAssignment == true) {
objRoles.AddUserRole(user.PortalID, user.UserID, objRole.RoleID, Null.NullDate, Null.NullDate); }
}

objRoles.AddUserRole(user.PortalID, user.UserID, 5, Null.NullDate, Null.NullDate);
