SecurityCallContext Class

Describes the chain of callers leading up to the current method call.

Namespace:  System.EnterpriseServices
Assembly:  System.EnterpriseServices (in System.EnterpriseServices.dll)

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class SecurityCallContext
'Usage
Dim instance As SecurityCallContext

The following code example demonstrates the use of the SecurityCallContext class to interrogate the security context of calls to the methods of a ServicedComponent class.

' Accept a constructor string.
<ConstructionEnabled()>  _
Public Class EmployeeInformation

    Inherits ServicedComponent

    ' The employee's user name and salary. 
    Private accountName As String 
    Private salary As Double = 0

    ' Get the employee's name. All users can call this method. 
    Public Function GetName() As String  
        Return accountName

    End Function 'GetName

    ' Set the employee's salary. Only managers can do this. 
    Public Sub SetSalary(ByVal ammount As Double) 
        If SecurityCallContext.CurrentCall.IsCallerInRole("Manager") Then
            salary = ammount
        Else 
            Throw New UnauthorizedAccessException()
        End If 

    End Sub 'SetSalary

    ' Get the employee's salary. Only the employee and managers can do this. 
    Public Function GetSalary() As Double  
        If SecurityCallContext.CurrentCall.DirectCaller.AccountName = accountName OrElse SecurityCallContext.CurrentCall.IsCallerInRole("Manager") Then 
            Return salary
        Else 
            Throw New UnauthorizedAccessException()
        End If 

    End Function 'GetSalary

    ' Use the constructor string. 
    ' This method is called when the object is instantiated. 
    Protected Overrides Sub Construct(ByVal constructorString As String) 
        accountName = constructorString

    End Sub 'Construct

End Class 'EmployeeInformation
