Get Current MemberGroup
Hello everyone,

I have a website with 10 different Member Group where all members have access to certain specific content on the website.

Can somehow tell me how do i get to display the MemberGroup of a Login User ?
```
var CUser = Member.GetCurrentMember();
    
    if(AlnUser != null){
        var CUserName = CUser.Text;
        var CLastName = CUser.getProperty("userLastName").Value.ToString();
    

@CUserName @CLastName  @CUser.MemberGroup 
```

Still not working though

 var userName = CUser.LoginName;
    var userGroup = CUser.Id;
   
    
    var roles = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(1066);

    @roles.ToString()

The method only takes a login name as parameter - not a user ID, so based on your code, try the following:
```
string[] roles = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(userName);
```
The method will then return a string array of the member groups the user is associated with ;)

Hi Anders,

Still the same output System.String[]. Am i missing any other Namespace apart from System.Web.Security ?
```
var roles =System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(username); or
```
```
String[] r = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(userName);
```

I'm not sure I understand the last part. Are you getting any errors? The method will return a string array, but it doesn't matter whether you write var, string[] or String[] - it means the same in the end.

It's not necessary to import any namespaces to make it work.

The method returns an array since a member can be a part of multiple groups.

Bu you can check for a specific member group like this:
```
string[] roles = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetRolesForUser(userName);

bool isInSomeGroup = roles.Contains("SomeGroup");
bool isInSomeOtherGroup = roles.Contains("SomeOtherGroup");
```
This will require the System.Linq namespace.

You can also list all the groups like this:
```
<ul>
@foreach (string role in roles) {
    <li>@role</li>
}
</ul>
```
