can the web.config be changed so roles wouldn't work any more?

web.config

I have had two instances of this problem, first on my local computer, now on the main site. Users can log in to the site, but it doesn't seem to recognize their roles. When I log in (which the database still recognizes as having the role admin), the code does not recognize it as being in the admin role.

If there are other web.configs in subfolders, would that cause the problem? What could possibly cause this issue?

Thanks! scojomodena
