 Here is the relevant section from MSDN documentation for IsUserInRole:Parts of \
Syntax [Visual Basic] object
   An object with a reference to a SecurityCallContext object.
User
   A Variant representing the user ID whose role membership will be checked.
role
   A string expression representing the name of the role whose membership will be \
checked.  Tahsin Alam <tahsinalam@YAHOO.COM> wrote: Hi:

I am trying to use IsUserInRole(user, rolename) from Visual Basic, and don't know \
what to pass in as the "user".

I want to know the role of the Original Caller. I tried passing in the name of the \
original caller (using GetSecurityCallContext("OriginalCaller")("AccountName")), and \
also the SID (GetSecurityCallContext("OriginalCaller")("SID")) and the method returns \
true for all roles.
