You can use System.Security.Principal.IsInRole to find out if a user is in a certain Windows Group. You have to use WindowsAuthentication mode for it to work.
i a very new to all things vb, i have a database table called tblLogin and am using web.config and global.asax files that an example told me to use.
global.asax:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Session_OnStart()
Session("conClasf") = _
"Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"Initial Catalog=DB"
Try
Session("hostname") = _
Dns.GetHostByAddress(Request.UserHostAddress).HostName
Catch ex As Exception
Session("hostname") = Request.UserHostAddress
End Try
End Sub
</script>
web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" name=".AUTHCOOKIE" protection="All" timeout="300"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*,?"/>
</authorization>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=9.1.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>

<location path="reg">

<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>

</configuration>
