please see image here, i have no users: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/20/77086680.png to choose from
So what is the problem ? You normally have users but they do not appear here ? or you don't know how to create users ?

Using ASP.NET authentication

  • open website administration tool .
  • click on security. click manage users.
  • click on edit role beside the username and you will see a list of available roles. enter image description here

if you can't find any users then you have to choose create user first. if you can't find any roles then go back to security and click enable roles then create new role first and repeat the above steps after complition.

for windows authentication you can check for a certain user in code as follow

•Use the IPrincipal interface of the User object attached to the current HTTP request.

if(User.IsInRole(@"DomainName\Manager")) // Perform restricted operation else // Return unauthorized access error.

but any group managment mut be done using windows managment (users and groups) for more info. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx
