Getting a list of logged-in users in ASP.NET Identity

Getting a list of logged-in users in ASP.NET Identity

In ASP.NET Identity, you can get a list of logged-in users by querying the UserManager and SignInManager classes to retrieve information about authenticated users. Here's an example:

using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; public class HomeController : Controller { private ApplicationUserManager _userManager; private ApplicationSignInManager _signInManager; public HomeController() { } public ApplicationUserManager UserManager { get { return _userManager ?? HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); } private set { _userManager = value; } } public ApplicationSignInManager SignInManager { get { return _signInManager ?? HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Get<ApplicationSignInManager>(); } private set { _signInManager = value; } } public ActionResult Index() { // Get a list of logged-in users var loggedInUsers = new List<string>(); var userSessions = HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.SessionStateModule.ActiveSessions; foreach (var userSession in userSessions) { var sessionID = ((System.Web.SessionState.SessionIDManager)HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Modules["Session"].GetType().InvokeMember("_sessionIDManager", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField, null, HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Modules["Session"], null)).GetSessionID(HttpContext.Current.Request, HttpContext.Current.Response); if (sessionID != null && sessionID.Equals(userSession.SessionID)) { var userID = userSession["UserId"] as string; if (userID != null) { var user = UserManager.FindById(userID); if (user != null) { loggedInUsers.Add(user.UserName); } } } } return View(loggedInUsers); } }

In this example, we define an ApplicationUserManager and ApplicationSignInManager to access user and sign-in information from the Owin context. We then get a list of active user sessions using HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.SessionStateModule.ActiveSessions. For each active session, we get the session ID and the associated user ID, and use UserManager.FindById to get the user object. We then add the user name to a list of logged-in users.

Note that this example assumes that you are using sessions to manage user authentication, and that you are storing the user ID in the session. If you are using a different authentication mechanism, you will need to modify the code accordingly.

Examples

  1. "ASP.NET Identity get list of currently logged-in users"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var loggedInUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.UserName != null).ToList();

    Description: Retrieves a list of all users who have a non-null UserName, assuming that a user with a non-null UserName is considered logged in.

  2. "ASP.NET Identity get online users using LastLoginTime"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var onlineUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.LastLoginTime > DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-15)).ToList();

    Description: Gets a list of users who have logged in within the last 15 minutes, assuming you have a LastLoginTime property in your user model.

  3. "ASP.NET Identity get active users based on session expiration"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var activeUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.LockoutEndDateUtc == null || u.LockoutEndDateUtc <= DateTime.UtcNow).ToList();

    Description: Retrieves a list of users whose account is not locked or has not expired based on LockoutEndDateUtc.

  4. "ASP.NET Identity get online users using a custom flag"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var onlineUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.IsOnline).ToList();

    Description: Gets a list of users based on a custom flag IsOnline that you may have defined in your user model to indicate online status.

  5. "ASP.NET Identity get currently authenticated users"

    var authenticationManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication; var authenticatedUsers = authenticationManager.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated ? new List<ApplicationUser> { userManager.FindById(authenticationManager.User.Identity.GetUserId()) } : new List<ApplicationUser>();

    Description: Retrieves a list of currently authenticated users based on the user ID stored in the authentication cookie.

  6. "ASP.NET Identity get users by role currently logged in"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var roleManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Get<ApplicationRoleManager>(); var roleName = "RoleName"; var usersInRole = roleManager.FindByName(roleName)?.Users.Select(ur => userManager.FindById(ur.UserId)).ToList() ?? new List<ApplicationUser>();

    Description: Retrieves a list of users currently logged in who belong to a specific role.

  7. "ASP.NET Identity get online users using session tokens"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var onlineUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.SecurityStamp != null).ToList();

    Description: Gets a list of users with a non-null SecurityStamp, assuming it is updated during each session.

  8. "ASP.NET Identity get users by last activity date"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var lastActivityDate = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-30); // 30 minutes ago var activeUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.LastActivityDate > lastActivityDate).ToList();

    Description: Retrieves a list of users based on their last activity date, assuming you have a LastActivityDate property in your user model.

  9. "ASP.NET Identity get online users using a custom claim"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var onlineUsers = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.Claims.Any(c => c.ClaimType == "IsOnline" && c.ClaimValue == "true")).ToList();

    Description: Gets a list of users based on a custom claim "IsOnline" with a value of "true" that you may have added to indicate online status.

  10. "ASP.NET Identity get users with active sessions"

    var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); var usersWithActiveSessions = userManager.Users.Where(u => u.Logins.Any()).ToList();

    Description: Retrieves a list of users who have active sessions based on the presence of external logins.
