Answer 1

Get started with the Beer House starter kit which is a complete example of how membership, role, profile, personalization etc providers are used along with some good re-usable code.

Say you have a page that allows a user to edit some data, called EditData.aspx, but you only want users belonging to certain roles to access that page, you would add the following to your web.config:

<configuration>
   <location path="EditData.aspx">
      <system.web>
         <authorization>
            <deny users="*"/>
            <allow roles="Manager, SuperUser"/>
         </authorization>
      </system.web>
   </location>
</configuration>
