Get Permission Levels associated with all Groups in Site

In this post, I will show you have to get the permission level for the Groups associated to the Web Site Level using the Managed Client Object Model.
Managed Client Object Model – Get Permission Levels associated with all Groups in Site

I have my code which supports the Console Application, so create the Console Application in C# Section from Visual Studio.
Then add the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll and Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll references. We can obtain those two dll’s from below methods,

From 14 Hive / ISAPI Folder (If we installed SharePoint 2010 in your machine)
If SharePoint 2010, not available on the machine; install “SharePoint Foundation 2010 Client Object Model Redistributable” to get those dll’s.

Open the code page and add the following code,

The following code example displays in a console application, the Permission Levels associated to the Groups for the specified Site.

try { string siteURL = "http://SiteUrl"; string username = "username"; string password = "password"; string domain = "domain";


    ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(siteURL);

    ctx.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);

    Web webSite = ctx.Web;
    //Following Load method loads,

    //Line 2: Identify the website has Unique Perimission or Inherited Permission

    //Line 3: Get the WebSite Title Property

    //Line 4: Get the collection of RoleAssignment, associated to the Site

    //Get the Member and (collection of RoleDefinition) RoleDefinitionBindingCollection property from RoleAssignment

    //Line 5,6: Member Property retrives the Title and Id

    //Line 7,8: RoleDefintion retrives the Title Property
    //Start: Line 0

    ctx.Load(webSite, oweb =>

        oweb.HasUniqueRoleAssignments,

        oweb => oweb.Title,

        oweb => oweb.RoleAssignments.Include(

            roleAssignment => roleAssignment.Member.Title,

            roleAssignment => roleAssignment.Member.Id,

            roleAssignment => roleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Include(

                roleDefinition => roleDefinition.Name)));

    //End: Line 9
    ctx.ExecuteQuery();

//Code for Output Follows RoleAssignmentCollection roleAssCollection = webSite.RoleAssignments; Console.WriteLine("Site Title: " + webSite.Title); Console.WriteLine("Site has Unique Permissions: " + webSite.HasUniqueRoleAssignments); Console.WriteLine("Group Name \t Group ID \t Permission Level"); Console.WriteLine("******************************************"); foreach (RoleAssignment roleAss in roleAssCollection) { Principal roleMember = roleAss.Member; Console.Write(roleMember.Title + " \t " + roleMember.Id + " \t "); foreach (RoleDefinition roleDef in roleAss.RoleDefinitionBindings) { Console.Write(roleDef.Name + ";"); } Console.WriteLine(""); } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); }
