Create a role and check it

[Magnus]

Hello!

I 'm quite new to asp.net and trying to accomplish a web that gives 'admins'
some extra options in an aspx page.
I have a local group called admins at the dotnet server. In this group I
have domain users/groups.
I have this "code" in the web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>

<identity impersonate="true"/>

If the user is a member of the local group myserver\admins something should
happend. Otherwise not!
How do I accomplish this? Please explain to a "dummie".

Regards Magnus

You can check for the role using Page/Context.User.IsInrole("admins") or
use the <authorization> element in web.config to declaratively restrict access
to pages and directories using roles. The site map feature is also role aware.

What else should happen?


Why do you have a <impersonate> element in config - you can remove that if
you are not sure if you need it.

Thank you. It worked perfectly!!!

Well, from the beginning I thought of using impersonate because the user
should use a database with his/her own account. Changed it to use one common
sql account instead, so that's true, I don't need impersonate anymore.
Does that make any sence to you?
