Deny acces to users that are not in any role

[Markus Palme]

Hi NG!

Is it possible to deny access to a (logged in) user that is not in any
role? Placeholders like <deny roles="?"/> don't seem to be possible.

Regards
Markus

<location path="Protected.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Administrator"/>
<deny roles="Staff"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

As long as you do not have an allow rule higher up, it will automatically
deny all roles that are not allowed. If you have a generic rule higher that
allows access, then you do have to explicitly deny. You can deny generically
for roles ... but you can for users. Thus, this is valid:

<location path="Protected.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Administrator"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

<deny users="*"/>

Thanks, that is the solution.
