As you know, Microsoft removed ASP.NET Web Configuration Tool in VS2013 and it is a bad downgrade for it. thanks THIS post that shows a way (but difficult) to use ASP.NET Configuration Tool. so what is the easiest way to define memberships, roles, users, access rules and ...? ASP.NET Web Configuration Tool was really simple and user friendly.

Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft is moving membership system from Membership Provider to ASP.NET Identity.

However, if you want to use Membership Provider there is a new one called ASP.NET Universal Providers.

ASP.NET Universal Providers supports NuGet package, and the package will create the requires membership tags in web.config.

  • it's good for create membership provider in web.config but ASP web configuration tool was a great tool to create users, roles, define access roles for folders, it creates web.config in folders and was very easy to use. I don't know why microsoft removed it. How do you create users and roles now? probably you write some codes and create a page like ASP configuration tool – SalmanShariati Mar 31 '14 at 21:39
  • I find aspnetmemberman.codeplex.com. it is almost what I need. – SalmanShariati Mar 31 '14 at 21:43

Setting up membership/roles isn't much difficult once you understand the basics. You will love to set things up directly in the web.config, once you start using it.

Check these:

Setting up Membership

Setting up authorization rules
