Custom assembly security

Hi
I have a function that checks if a user is in a Windows domain group. (John
is in Administrator group?). What kind of security permissions is required
to execute my function?
<'')> _
Public Shared Function UserIsInGroup(ByVal Group As String) As String
Dim currentIdentity As WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
......
End Function
Thanks
AndresAs outlined on MSDN, the GetCurrent() call requires security permissions
with the ControlPrincipal flag. See also:

Embedded code in a report has ExecutionOnly permission (open
rssrvpolicy.config and search for the CodeGroup with the
name="Report_Expressions_Default_Permissions").
You might consider one of these:
* move the code into a custom assembly, give the custom assembly the
required permissions and assert(!) the permission in the custom assembly
methods prior to invoking .GetCurrent().
* or give the CodeGroup for report expressions more default permissions
(which is not recommended).
However, before modifying any configuration files and security permissions I
recommend to backup your current config files and read the MSDN article
about code security in RS:
