Thanks, the ability to belong to more than one group and the stated "role of
current logged in user" threw me off.
As I mentioned in the OP, I am able to check which role(s) the user belongs
to. Not what the requirement stated, but cool nonetheless. If anything, it
led me down this path to understand it better.
I haven't started yet on 2.0 (XP Pro SP2 network issues), but the
WindowsBuiltInRole enumeration is available in 2.0 from a quick msdn2
search. This is only the common groups installed on a Windows system.
Thanks for the help. Happy MLK day.
