How to test role of a user?

[natoine]

Well i have tried to do renderRequest.isUserInRole("admin") but it returns false even if the user is admin...

Thanks for your time.

You must first define the role in your portlet.xml before you can use this method. Please check the portlet spec

well i have add these lines in my portlet.xml

<security-role-ref>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
<role-link>Administrator</role-link>
</security-role-ref>

But i still have a false return when i invoke the isUserInRole method.
