ASP .Net Membership Access Rules

Question

Hi I have setup Access Rules on my local server and they work fine. However when I deploy them on to my staging server the rules are not in effect. Where are the rules stored? Both my local and staging server point to the same DB server. Thank you for any insight.

I set the Access Rules in the ASP.Net Web Application Administration

If you mean roles/users restrictions, those go in the web.config. The built-in roleprovider and membershipprovider store the users and roles in the db, but the allow/deny roles are in the web.config (or in custom code you do for that matter).
