window authentication correction

[Allah Kaa Bandaa]

Hi all, i am using window authentication in my asp.net page. In web.config file i am using following authentication mode="Windows" authentication authorization allow roles="Administrators" deny users="*" authorization identity impersonate="true" here tag sign are not written here(because in that case data is not shown here in the forum) but are in present in the web.config, so ignore them here. i want that only the users in 'Administrators' group have access to the application and all other users are denied. But when i run the application then the access of all users are denied including the users in Administrators group. Can u tell me what is wrong in above settings. What should i do to allow access to users of administartors group while deny all others.

The allow roles should look something like this:

<allow roles="MACHINE_OR_DOMAIN_NAME\Administrators"/>

The bit before the slash in the attribute is the name of the machine or the domain (which ever is relevant) Does this help?
