Role based user authentication 2 Support
Welcome to the continuation of the last article I wrote, ASP: Role-based User Authentication. Previously, we looked at a way to provide role based authentication in a generic manner. We linked modules of functionality to users through four roles: Read, Add, Update, and Delete. We also provided ‘blanket’ Full access without explicitly storing a record for each of the roles. As this article follows on from last time, I highly suggest you read that article first – but it's not compulsory, as the code is provided.
Today, we’re going to create a simple web-based administration tool for managing these permissions. For the sake of brevity, I won’t go through all the pages such a tool would have, I’ll concentrate on the two pages that tie it all together.
All the code is provided, as usual, in the code download link below the PDF buttons.

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!
