c# - kentico API - Grouping Roles using membership -

within kentico administration area, there facility group 'roles' using 'membership' feature. have built 'custom role provider' allows me access kentico database through api, working , correct.

the api allows me access roles of user fine, ideally access 'memberships' instead , 'roles' associated through api. when authenticating users access page/link etc have call group name , search through mappings find associated 'role', grant or deny access.

is there way in api this, need create custom sql string , execute against database extract data need?

there no out-of-box functionality that. have utilize offered info objects , providers. have created short sample code understand concept.

    // user name     userinfo user = userinfoprovider.getuserinfo("testuser");      // user-role bindings user's identifier     infodataset<userroleinfo> userroles = userroleinfoprovider.getuserroles("userid=" + user.userid, null, -1, null);     response.write("user: " + user.username + "<br /><br />");      // enumerate through user-role binding     foreach (userroleinfo userroleinfo in userroles)     {         // role information based on role identifier         roleinfo role = roleinfoprovider.getroleinfo(userroleinfo.roleid);         response.write("user role: " + role.displayname + "<br />");          // role-membership bindings using condition         infodataset<membershiproleinfo> membershiproles = membershiproleinfoprovider.getmembershiproles("roleid=" + role.roleid, null, -1, null);          // enumerate through role-membership bindings         foreach (membershiproleinfo membershiproleinfo in membershiproles)         {             // membership info using identifier             membershipinfo membership = membershipinfoprovider.getmembershipinfo(membershiproleinfo.membershipid);             response.write("role membership: " + membership.membershipdisplayname + "<br />");         }          response.write("<br />");     }
