find out user belongs to which groups

Question

I have a windows user accounts which i just created take XYZ for example.

This XYZ belongs to a User group and a custom group i created in Computer Management --> Local users and groups.

So in properties i see that the user belongs to the 2 groups.

Now i want to get those groups and display them. any suggestions???

i have done this but this is not right as it gives me the roles of SQL (i think)

here is what i did:

after logging in and impersonating i call the function

getUserGroups();

private void getUserGroups()
    {
        // collect the user domain and identity
        string[] arr =
            System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.
            LogonUserIdentity.Name.Split('\\');

        // update the display to show
        // the captured domain and user
        if (arr.Length > 0)
        {
            new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("User Name" + arr[0].ToString());
            new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("User Domain" + arr[1].ToString());
        }

        // create an arraylist and populate
        // it with the list of groups that
        // the current user belongs to
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al = GetGroups();

        // check to see if the user belongs
        // to a specific group and create
        // a list of all of the user's groups
        foreach (string s in al)
        {
            // add this one to the list
            new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("Group" + s);
            // check to see if the user
            // belongs to a specific group

            //if (s == "BXSWLT\\SomeCustomGroup")
            //{
            //    // change the label to show
            //    // there was a match
            //    lblMemberOfGroup.Text = "YES";
            //}
        }
    }


    public ArrayList GetGroups()
    {
        ArrayList groups = new ArrayList();
        foreach (System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference group in
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Groups)
        {
            groups.Add(group.Translate(typeof
            (System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString());
        }
        return groups;
    }

the Result i get is:

9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: User Name  NT AUTHORITY.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: User Domain  IUSR.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: Group  Everyone.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: Group  BUILTIN\Users.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: Group  NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: Group  NT AUTHORITY\This Organization.
9/8/2010 5:57:22 PM: Group  LOCAL.

Answer 1

Did you try with

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity

instead of

HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity

?
