10.0.1 Upgrade -- GetRolesByGroup throws error

[bdimolfe-winmill]

Hi Everyone,

We just upgraded from 9.13.9 to 10.0.1 and are getting the error below. Just looking to confirm if this is a known change in the security model or if perhaps something went awry during the upgrade.

error CS1061: 'RoleController' does not contain a definition for 'GetRolesByGroup' and no accessible extension method 'GetRolesByGroup' accepting a first argument of type 'RoleController' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thank you!
Ben

That is part of APIs that were removed, see

Dnn.Platform/DNN Platform/Library/Obsolete/RoleController.cs

Line 71 in 8fad43c

public ArrayList GetRolesByGroup(int portalId, int roleGroupId)

All methods on that class were marked obsolete in v7.3.0 except that one (probably by mistake).
You would have to take a better look in logs to figure out which extension is using this and migrate away from using that method.

Thank you Daniel!

Hi @valadas appreciate your help with this.

I have another DNN issue that perhaps you can offer some insight? We have a site that is V9.11.2 and we know it needs to be upgraded but we are trying to keep it going for about 2 weeks before we try to upgrade.

We are seeing an issue where we have a custom control that needs to know if the user is logged in and this line of code always returns FALSE:

_isLoggedIn = (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && SecurityManager.UserName.Length > 0);

This doesn't seem to be a problem in other sites with other versions. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Thank you,
Ben

What is SecurityManager in this context?
