The user running a .Net application is identified by the Thread.CurrentPrincipal property of the running thread. You can set the CurrentPrincipal at application startup as follows.
string[] roles = { "Manager", "Administrator" };
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(
new GenericIdentity("John"), roles);Then later you can make authorization decisions based on the current user.
if (!System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole("Manager"))
{
Console.WriteLine("Permission denied");
return;
}
else{
Console.WriteLine("Permission granted");
return;
}
