  Windows Authentication - User Roles

  May 17, 2013 11:48 AM|JT12|LINK

  I enabled Windows Authentication for a Web Pages site like explained here: http://www.mikepope.com/blog/AddComment.aspx?blogid=2298

  Is it possible to restrict or allow access to certain pages based upon username or user group?

  Thanks.

  Put this at the top of the page inside the code brackets.
  
  WebSecurity.RequireRoles("youruserrolehere");

  Thanks for the reply.

  When I tried that, I got this message.

  To call this method, the "Membership.Provider" property must be an instance of "ExtendedMembershipProvider".

  Greetings,

  looks like you have not  created roles. Open your database and verify that you have these three tables:
  webpages_UsersInRoles
  webpages_Roles
  webpages_Membership.
  
  Then verify that they are NOT empty. Finally, open your web.cofig file and verify that Windows Authentication is set to "Enabled".

  Like this:

  <authentication>

   <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />

              </authentication>
   hope this helps

  I enabled Windows Authentication

  I have no experience with Windows Authentication but maybe this article could help: How To: Use Windows Authentication in ASP.NET 2.0.

  Hi Everyone and thanks for the suggestions. I'm sorry that I took so long to follow up.

  Here is what I decided to do with help from this link provided by GmGregori: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx. It seems to get the job done.

  In web.config:

  <roleManager enabled="true"
               defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider"/>

  In _PageStart file or in the file of your choosing:

     if(Roles.IsUserInRole(@"Domain\Username")) {
    // Perform restricted operation
    }
  else{
    Response.Redirect("~/AreaRestricted");
    }
