Adding an Administration Area

Adding an Administration Area

To add an administration area to an ASP.NET web application, you can create a new folder and set up security settings to restrict access to authenticated users with certain roles.

Here are the steps to add an administration area to your application:

Create a new folder in your web application to hold the administration pages. For example, you might create a folder called “Admin”.

Add a new web form to the folder for each page in the administration area. For example, you might create a page called “AdminDashboard.aspx” for the main administration dashboard.

Set up security settings for the folder and pages. There are several ways to do this, but one common approach is to use ASP.NET membership and roles to restrict access to authenticated users with certain roles.

To do this, you can add the following code to the web.config file for the “Admin” folder:

</authorization>

This code allows only users who belong to the “Admins” role to access the pages in the “Admin” folder, and denies access to all other users.

Add links to the administration pages to your site’s navigation menu or other relevant pages.
