The GetUsersInRole method is called by the Roles class to retrieve the list of users associated with the specified role in the authorization-manager policy store specified in the ASP.NET application's configuration file (Web.config).
The GetUsersInRole method only returns user names that are directly contained in the authorization-manager role specified by the roleName parameter. The underlying authorization-manager API called by the GetUsersInRole method does not support group expansion, so users contained in nested NT groups, nested authorization-manager groups, and LDAP query groups will not be returned.
The following code example uses the GetUsersInRole method to get a list of the users in a particular role and bind the results to a System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView control. For an example of a Web.config file that enables role management, see AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider.
