Adding "Roles" Tab

Let’s add a “Roles” tab on the Users page to allow management of roles. When a role is selected, users corresponding to the role will be displayed below. In order to create this “implied” master-detail relationship, a “UsersInRole” view must be created that will use a custom command to extract the RoleID.

Creating “Users In Role” View

Right-click on Users / Views / grid1 view node, and press Copy.

Right-click on Users / Views node, and press Paste. A duplicate of the view will be created.

Double-click on Users / Views / v100 node. Next to the Command property, select the New Command icon.

Assign these values.

select
    "Users"."UserID" "UserID"
    ,"Users"."UserName" "UserName"
    ,"Users"."Password" "Password"
    ,"Users"."Email" "Email"
    ,"Users"."Comment" "Comment"
    ,"Users"."PasswordQuestion" "PasswordQuestion"
    ,"Users"."PasswordAnswer" "PasswordAnswer"
    ,"Users"."IsApproved" "IsApproved"
    ,"Users"."LastActivityDate" "LastActivityDate"
    ,"Users"."LastLoginDate" "LastLoginDate"
    ,"Users"."LastPasswordChangedDate" "LastPasswordChangedDate"
    ,"Users"."CreationDate" "CreationDate"
    ,"Users"."IsLockedOut" "IsLockedOut"
    ,"Users"."LastLockedOutDate" "LastLockedOutDate"
    ,"Users"."FailedPasswordAttemptCount" "FailedPasswordAttemptCount"
    ,"Users"."FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart" 
        "FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart"
    ,"Users"."FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount" 
        "FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount"
    ,"Users"."FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptWindowStart" 
        "FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptWindowStart"
    ,UserRoles.RoleID RoleID
from "dbo"."Users" "Users"
left join UserRoles on Users.UserID = UserRoles.UserID

Press OK to create the command and insert it into the property. Also make the following changes:

Adding Roles Tab to Users Page
