Adding Active Directory User to Site

Hi All,

Here is a way to add active directory user at site level.

There is one method that ensures that specific loginname exist in site or not? and if not, then adds that user in the site.

Here is a qucik way to do it.

SPWeb.EnsureUser Method (Microsoft.SharePoint)

SPWeb instance ;
String loginName;
SPUser = returnValue;

returnValue = instance.EnsureUser[loginName];

This checks the loginname and if not exists then adds in site.


SPSite siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;

SPWeb topLevelSite = siteCollection.RootWeb();

'-------- "Ensure" user and store in a SPUser object: ---------------


SPUser spUserObj = topLevelSite.EnsureUser("domain\someUserName");

'-------- Get the SiteUserInfoList and loop through it to find the
previously "ensured" user: ---------------


SPList userInfoList = topLevelSite.SiteUserInfoList;
SPListItem =InfoItem ;


foreach(userInfoItem In userInfoList.Items)
if(userInfoItem.Item("Account") == spUserObj.LoginName)
{
userInfoItem.Item["Department"] = "some department value";
userInfoItem.Update()
}

Then add user to specifc group.
