I have a page that displays SQL Server tables via GridView controls.
However, some of the table fields (gridview columns) should be visibile only
to specific users (Admin, Supervisors, etc) and some should be
visible/editable only by specific users (Admin). I would like a simple,
robust method of dynamically enabling/disabling content based on the user's
role. I'm using ASP.Net 2.0/C# within VS2005TS and SQL Server 2000 (can also
use 2005 express).

Any suggestions? Thanks for your advice.

Will something like this work?
<control enabled='<%=Roles.IsCallerInRole("Admin")%>'>

I believe that will work, though that's the easy part. The hurdle is how to
define which controls require which role(s) to be viewable and which controls
require which role(s) to be editable (and maybe again for deleteable).
Making this system scaleable, foolproof and manageable is the hard part.

Thanks for the lead.
