Change users role while loged in
It depends on if you have set cacheRolesInCookie on your role provider in web.config. If you use cache the roles, the user needs to re-login or close and re-open the browser.
Not all methods calls the cookie, eg GetRoles doesn't but IsInRole uses the cached roles.

Hi!
It's little bit risky in our project to disable cacheRolesInCookie for the whole site, we want to di sable it for just some part of the site.Will it be working if we define a new <location path=””> & disable the cache just for the specific part of the site?

I guess you could set the path for the cookie, please see the "Controlling Cookie Scope" section here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178194%28v=vs.100%29.aspx. And you could aslo call the role methods that doesn't check the cookie.
Your proposed solution will not work.

Hi!
Im trying to change a user's role while he is logged in. I want him to be able to switch between "admin" and "user" in my system and based on that give hime access to different pages.
Basically I want to do something like this:
var usersCurrentRoles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(username);
if (usersCurrentRoles.Length > 0)
{
Roles.RemoveUserFromRoles(username, usersCurrentRoles);
}
Roles.AddUserToRole(username, role);
and the roles are changed for the user, if I check in Admin mode. But my Menu list does not change and my user can still access the same pages.
Do I need to logout and then login again for the roles to be effective?
