The best way IMO is to write your own system, not use the built in rubbish.

You have to do it programmatically..! for eg:to find the roles of the user

Response.Write (User.Identity.Name + " is a member of " + Roles.GetRolesForUser().Length + " Roles.<BR>");

    Response.Write("User Roles" + "<BR>");
    foreach (string role in Roles.GetRolesForUser())
    {
        Response.Write(role.ToString() + "<BR>");
    }
    Response.Write("All Roles" + "<BR>");
    foreach (string role in Roles.GetAllRoles())
    {
        Response.Write(role.ToString() + "<BR>");
    }

How does that allow him to change roles ? Can he add roles and remove them programatically too ?

Dont make it difficult for this guy Chris, it looks like he is new, so using the included membership system is the best option in this case

Take a look at the Roles class[^] You can create, delete and read roles, as well as adding and removing users to and from roles For instance, you can show a gridview with all users and a checkboxlist with all the available roles that can be assigned to the selected user

I would certainly start by using the Membership class, as it hides a lot of the database interaction from you and provides a reasonable basic user management system that works with SQL Sever, mySQL, etc. It includes everything you need to get your head around, including encrypted passwords, user approval, roles, and applications so you can concentrate on your logic, rather than re-inventing the wheel. When you need to extend, then look at deriving from Membership first.
