how to use <authorization>

[Julia]

Hi

I have an asp.net application. I would like to allow users in a group on my
computer (I also have the IIS on the same computer) to enter the application.
So I created a new group named MyGroup. And I added these rows in the config
file:

<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="NE\MyGroup" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>

This doesnt work, why? If I allow the BUILTIN/Administrators I can enter the
application.

Thanks
Julia

hi -

- have you logged off/on after you added your account to the group?
- try without the NE
