Simple implementation of a custom MembershipUser and Membership provider
I've just uploaded a demo which extends the AccessMembershipProvider and the
MembershipUser:
http://projectdistributor.net/Projects/Project.aspx?projectId=73
In this project I create a derived AccessMembershipProvider and a derived
MembershipUser to show one quick-n-dirty method of extending a membership user
without having to totally rewrite the data access level code that comes out of
the box.
The derived member adds a property called Permissions which is a
rich type and allows a finer level of permissions than the simple
string[].
The Roles API in ASP.NET 2.0 works with a string[] of roles.
For example, John Doe might have the following roles: "Administrator", "Editor",
etc…
But, what if John has different roles on a per category or per group
basis? Like, John is an "Administrator" in Group A but is only an "Editor" in
Group B.
That's the use case behind this demo.
