    <p>Since I upgraded my project to MVC5 in VS2012 the Custom principal I implemented isn't working anymore.</p> <p>The principal:</p> <pre><code>public class CustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { public Boolean IsInRole(String role) { return ((CustomIdentity)Identity).User.Roles.Any(r =&gt; r.Name == role); } public IIdentity Identity { get; private set; } public CustomPrincipal(UserSession userSession) { Identity = new CustomIdentity(userSession); } } </code></pre> <p>Custom identity:</p> <pre><code>public class CustomIdentity : IIdentity { public String Name { get; private set; } public String AuthenticationType { get { return "CustomAuthentication"; } } public Boolean IsAuthenticated { get; private set; } public User User { get; private set; } public UserSession UserSession { get; private set; } public CustomIdentity(UserSession userSession) { User = userSession.User; UserSession = userSession; Name = userSession.User.UserName; IsAuthenticated = userSession.User.IsApproved &amp;&amp; !userSession.User.IsDisabled &amp;&amp; !userSession.User.IsLockedOut; } } </code></pre> <p>How I set the User:</p> <pre><code>var principal = new CustomPrincipal(userSession); HttpContext.Current.User = principal; </code></pre> <p>The <code>[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]</code> attribute doesn't work anymore, neither does <code>var a = HttpContext.User.IsInRole("Administrator");</code></p> <p>When I place a breakpoint at <code>IsInRole</code> it never reaches there, but the constructed is called and <code>HttpContext.Current.User</code> does contain the <code>CustomPrincipal</code> object.</p> <p>What could be changed or wrong?</p>

    1. COI am having the same problem, upgraded an existing MVC4 project in VS2012. The User.IsInRole doesn't seem to work at all in MVC5... [This topic](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19099722/role-management-in-asp-mvc-5-microsoft-aspnet-identity) seems to describe the same problem.

    2. COBut is not giving the solution :) I had to revert back to MVC4 because I couldn't figure out why it doesn't work.

    3. CONope, you are right. In my case it seems the IsInRole is not working only on localhost (Roles are defined in Active Directory), if I deploy to a test server (w2k8) it seems to work again. My local machine is w8.1. Also if I loop through the roles not all are returned. If I find something I will let you know!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
