    Members.GetCurrentMember() - check if Member belongs to a Member Group

    Hi,

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but is there a missing property of UmbracoMemberGroups? How do you tell if the current logged in user belongs to a certain group? 

    I'm trying to customise a logged in view depending on wether a user is "basic" or "full". The only way I can see to do it is to double up and create my own property and store the groups again? Surely I'm missing something obvious!

    Steve

    Hi

    Try Members.IsMemberAuthorized - you can pass in a list of groups to check if the user is in them or not. 

    List<string> groupList = new List<string>();

...
if ( Members.IsMemberAuthorized(allowGroups: groupList) ) 
{


}

    Is there no way to do this for a specific member? All the documentation I have found only outlines doing this for the 'CurrentUser'.

    It would be nice to have a function like this:

    objMemberService.IsMemberInGroup(member: objMember, groupName: "Group Name");

    Perfect - I would have expected a method under from the MemberHelper but I supose this is because it's IPublishedContent?! Either way that works.

    User.IsInRole(groupName)
