MVC3 - Authentication for UserId


TO BE CLEAR: I have two groups of users - GroupA - User1, User2 GroupB - User3, User4 Group A does TaskA and creates TaskA Object Group B does TaskB and creates TaskB Object Role based prevents GroupA from editing TaskB Object and vice versa

The ISSUE - User1 can still edit User2's TaskA Object

I have integrated SqlMembership into my custom database and in my custom tables I have a UserId field which maps to the GUID AspNet_UserId column in AspNet_User Table. A user can create a job, and it is associated with the user's AspNet_UserId.

My issue is I have Role based security but I also must set security so only only User with UserId can access edit view that has model data containing his UserId.

I have looked at this post - ASP.NET MVC 3 using Authentication

(BUT the first part of the answer with 29 upvotes seems incomplete)


Solution

  • The Solution -

    I haven't implemented this yet but from what I see this is what I am looking for. I found it here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1771733.aspx/1?Display+a+specific+data+for+User

    This will hopefully save me from having to look at WIF...

    (Keeping my fingers crossed)

    Employee Controller:

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using System.Web.Security;
    
    namespace UserDetails.Controllers
    {
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private readonly List<Employee> m_employees;
    
        public HomeController()
        {
            m_employees = new List<Employee>
                              {
                                  new Employee
                                      {
                                          Id =  Guid.Parse("3aebbf53-3581-4822-bef4-c9701d927b93"),
                                          JobTitle = "Senior Developer",
                                          Manager = "Mr. Smith",
                                          Salary = 1500
                                      },
                                      
                                    new Employee
                                        {

                                        }
                              };
        }
    
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                MembershipUser currentUser = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name, true /* userIsOnline */);
                
                if (currentUser != null && currentUser.ProviderUserKey != null && currentUser.IsApproved)
                {
                    var currentUserId = (Guid)currentUser.ProviderUserKey;
    
                    Employee result = (from employee in m_employees
                                       where employee.Id == currentUserId
                                       select employee).FirstOrDefault();
    
                    return View(result);
                }
            }
    
            return View();
        }
    
        public ActionResult About()
        {
            return View();

    public class Employee
