C Sharp Login with different user privilege

[Xonel]

Hello I have an application that is basically built on Tab control. I have 8 tabs and i need to have different domains(e.g Admin, clerk, bursar, secretary) on my login where when a user under a specific domain clicks on a certain tab, an event is generated that prevents him from viewing the content of that tab Any advice please???

It will be better to define different roles & privileges; Then we can show / hide different tabs based on the privileges of the logined user.

Please give me a simple guide line... Thank you

Web app, or desktop? (It helps to be precise in your initial question.)

It is a desktop application

Okay, so you need to manage roles yourself, unless you want to use the standard Windows account properties. I think you can get the group name and you can definitely get the domain and user name.

I was thinking of it this way...

    private void Form1\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    
    {          
	if ((Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole("admin"))) // admin in this case should be a domain name.
	{
	tabPage4.Hide();
	}
	else 
	{
		MessageBox.Show("You must be a member of the Manager or Administrator's roles to view username and password information", "Insufficient Permissions",
			MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
	}
}

But now instead of

CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole

put something that will read the domain name. Something of that sort. I'll appreciate any help Thank you
