ASP: Role-based User Authentication Support
We make a simple but scalable role based authentication system by storing the data in a normalized way allowing us to easily rebuild the data in the user's session, and create a quick but logical way to query this data. We implement the ever-important security check, and make sure that the user is forced to log out when his/her permissions change.
Although this tutorial is not beginner-level, all the code is provided if you just want the solution without understanding how we got there!

I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I've been pushing 1's and 0's ever since my first computer at the age of 11. Ever since then I've always known I'll be a geek. I now work for Wireframe Studio in sunny Cape Town, and have been for the last 3 years. I'm the database / ASP / dynamic Flash guy here. I'm also one of the XHTML / CSS guys. I have alot of fun in my work because I develop solutions in a variety of ways. I always have something to do, and one project is always different to the next. I actually do have a girlfriend amongst all that!
