In an earlier postI detailed how to access the Membership provider’s services from Silverlight and ASP.Net Ajax. This is great for logging users into your site, but what if you want to make only certain parts of the application available to these users based on their role in the system at the time they log in or just check the user’s role before allowing them to perform an action?
I found a great post by Satheesh Babu that describes how to access the Role provider from within the browser.
