Retrieving member group & type of current member
Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to get information on the group or type of the currently logged in member? I have a site with a login feature and want to show the member different content dependending on what group the current member is in, or potentially the member type.

Currently I can retrieve the three properties associated with the current member using the following code:
```
@using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member

@{
     var member = Member.GetCurrentMember();   
     <p>@member.Id - @member.Text - @member.ParentId</p>
}
```
Is there a method that allows me to retrieve group/type information based on this code?

Kind Regards,
mmmoustache

Hi mmmoustache,

Normally you can use all functionalities of the ASP.Net memebrship provider. So, to check if the user is in a particular role, you can use the method
```
System.Web.Security.Roles.IsUserInRole(username, rolename)
System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(username)

etc.
```
Hope this helps

Cheers,

Michael.

Sadly, for users new to umbraco like me, this does not help. My task is twofold: firstly, i need to get the member groups of the current logged-in member and then secondly, to display all the content pages in these groups, both tasks in the context of an xslt file; in other words, display all content that the logged-in member is allowed to access. I have so far failed to find a good enough explanation and example that explains either of these tasks. Would appreciate it greatly should anyone like to provide a full and complete explanation of : (1) how to get the member groups of the current logged-in member, and also (b) how to get all content pages belonging to a member group.

Cheers

mark.
