I used SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Groups, but I noticed that when the current user permissions come from an AD Group that is included in a SP Group, that line of code doesn't add that particular SP Group into the returned collection. AD User --> AD Group --> SP Group --grants access to--> Site XaX (SP Group contains AD Group) The AD User has access to the site XaX, but SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Groups is not recognizing the SP Group. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance ! Diego Costamagna Get news, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com. Check it out!
