Hi,

One of the Application user lost his Admin access on one VB.Net application.

No admin settings defined in db tables. Nothing set up in web. config. Can't find the reason.

We have no Visual studio/Asp.net installed on the server. Can only open in aspx/master file in Notepad.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

    Hi @Nancy Vo (WICLOUD CORPORATION) , @Danny Nguyen (WICLOUD CORPORATION) , @Senthil kumar ,

    The issue is still persists. Any further suggestions for this issue ? The user has lost his admin privileges suddenly a day.

    He was on the only person can see the stock in the system. Confirmed with IT and him that there was no update performed on his machine on that day which he lost the admin previlegs.

    Thanks

    the issue is most likely the users permissions in the permissions databases. Microsoft has 4 different Membership/Identity sdks. Your code looks old so it's most likely one of the deprecated sdks. Either the original Asp.net 2.0 Membership or the Universal drivers. It could also be completely custom.

    the original Membership supported using Active Directory or sqlserver to store permissions. The Universal drives allowed custom databases. To help identify your code we need your web.config info. any section in the following list:

    • authentication
    • anonymousIdentification
    • membership
    • profile
    • roleManager
