I have this authorization config in my web.config

<location path="manager">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
<allow roles="admins" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="resourcemgr">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
<allow roles="resourceEditors" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

I need to give access to the "manager" dir for the "admins" role and access
to "resourcemgr" dir for the "resourceEditors" role

With this config is allowing me to get in the "manager" dir using the
"resourceEditors", and that couldn't be.

Am I missing something?

thanks
MAtias

Writing this, it won't allow anyone to get into manager,

<location path="manager">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="admins" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

However, I still cannot make it work to only allow "admins" role.

any ideas?

thanks!
Matias

Hi Matias,

I assume that you are using Forms Authentication and you are filling the
roles info with the appropriate data. Otherwise if you use Windows Auth you
should add the domain info the group name (role). Regarding the first
scenario, your last config should be fine: (apply the same to the
'resourcemgr' folder with the 'resourceEditors' role)

This section may be located in the root web.config file.
You should have this setting in the system.web main section as well.

<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

Notice that all users with the 'admins' role inlcuded in it's roles
collection will be allowed to access the manager folder.

Thanks to everyone.

It wasn't a config problem. This was a code I inherit from someone :s The
global.asax was hooked to the AuthenticationRequest event and was getting
the roles from a cookie and didn't refreshed the db role for the user.

thanks again,
Matias
