How to setup security for a single functionality only?

[weiliang]

Hi,

Our website is secured by implementing ASP Membership, but we have one tool in the website (e.g., editing) which should only be accessed by a small group of people. How can I setup this kind of security for my silverlight website?

Thanks for your input.

Create an editing role and only allows users who are member of that role to do edits.

Thanks for your reply, Richard. But how do make restriction on only certain role members to use a certain functionality in Silverlight. Could you deliberate it a little bit?

Thanks,

Wei

It should be possible for your website to expose a function which returns whether or not the authenticated user is a member of the Editing role.  The SL client can then use this information to enable or disable the associated UI.
