asp.net Membership : Extending Role membership?
- by mark smith
Hi there,
I am been taking a look at asp.net membership and it seems to provide everything that i need but i need some kind of custom Role functionality.
Currently i can add user to a role, great.
But i also need to be able to add Permissions to Roles..
i.e.
Role: Editor
Permissions: Can View Editor Menu, Can Write to Editors Table, Can Delete Entries in Editors Table.
Currently it doesn't support this, The idea behind this is to create a admin option in my program to create a role and then assign permissions to a role to say "allow the user to view a certain part of the application", "allow the user to open a menu item"
Any ideas how i would implement soemthing like this?
I presume a custom ROLE provider but i was wondering if some kind of framework extension existed already without rolling my own?
Or anybody knows a good tutorial of how to tackle this issue?
I am quite happy with what asp.net SQL provider has created in terms of tables etc... but i think i need to extend this by adding another table called RolesPermissions
and then I presume :-) adding some kind of enumeration into the table for each valid permission??
THanks in advance
