Property Value

Type	Description
IList<Role>	An IList<Role> collection which is the list of roles associated with the current user.

Remarks

In XAF applications, permissions are not assigned to a user directly. Users have roles, which in turn are characterized by a permission set. So, each user has one or more roles that determine what actions can be performed.

An example of using this property is provided in the Client-Side Security (2-Tier Architecture) topic.
