Need help with creating classes to hold user data
I am trying to create a class, or set of classes, wherein one class will contain code for user login (user ID and password will pull up the user name, and button to accept user ID for login purposes).
I need to be able to create a class that will hold up to 50 users (plus one additional user preset as Admin). This class will allow only the Admin to Add or Delete users, and only the Admin can change user permissions for the program. Users can "edit" their password only. NOTE: Users will also be included in the Employee data (except for a certain type of user (such as an External Accountant). The total number of permissions available to each user will upwards of 300. Permissions will be setup in "Roles". Each "Role" will have a variable number of permissions assigned to it, and each user that is assigned to this "Role" can be assigned or restricted from access to "Permissions" within the "Role".
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (if this helps).
I forgot to mention that I am working on a Windows 7 machine, so I need to be able to write code that works in Windows 7, and will also work in Windows 8 (and other platforms, such as Web and Android, etc.).
I am working on the header file. I am getting error messages saying identified "string" is not defined. This is just partial code. I need to create a Windows Form that will allow users to login. I also need to create a Windows Form that will allow the Admin to add, delete, and edit users permissions
My code (partial) is below:
#pragma once
struct Roles
{
// The Roles are flexible and easy to customize:
// * Multiple roles can be assigned to a single user.
// * A single role can be assigned to multiple users.
// * Roles can be created from scratch
// * User roles can be copied and customized to fit the needs of the business. Modifying controls with user-roles model is easier
// especially if your clients have multiple users assigned to a single role. Clients no longer have to change controls for each
// user. Just change the permissions to the role and the user(s) controls will be updated automatically
string Admin = "Admin"; // Admin - Full access to all areas of the company file. (Usually assigned to one user only.)

Since you say this is is partial code, it's not clear if:
1) you've included the <string> header or not.
2) you've included
Failing to include either of those will cause the compiler to complain that it doesn't recognize "string".
PLEASE USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.
It makes it easier to read your code and also easier to respond to your post.

Hint: You can edit your post, highlight your code and press the <> formatting button.
