The scenario is :

I am working on role based project in vs2005 and sql server2005. I defined the role in database and added custom role provider. I have two roles like "admin" and "user". I created two folder in project and placed the pages in these folder (admin and user) according to roles. Now I want to add code in web.config for accessing the pages according to roles means admin can see only admin folder pages and user can see only user folder pages.

If I define only one page for admin and one page for user in tag with roles authorization then they work fine. But if I used more than one pages in both folder then I need to define all pages in web.config file for both.

I used ` tag like this

<location path="user/userpage1.aspx"> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles="user"/> <deny users="*"/> </authorization> </system.web> </location>

Is there any possibility to assign a role for a folder instead of a page in tag. If yes, Please give some valuable ideas to implement this.

Place this web.config to your admin folder to protect all files in that folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
	<allow roles="admin"/>
           <deny users="*" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

If you want add exception to allow sample.aspx for everyone in that folder change it to like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
  
 <location path="sample.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

    <system.web>
        <authorization>
	<allow roles="admin"/>
           <deny users="*" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
