So I'd like to use Windows Authentication with a new ASP.NET MVC project, but I will probably need roles based authentication functionality so that users of the app can be designated different roles by the application (e.g. Administrator, Approver, General User).

Is there any roles-based authentication functionality built in to Windows Authentication in ASP.NET or do you just have to just manually build this in yourself?

edit: the roles would be at application level- I can't make a business case to create 5 separate Active Directory groups, for example, for this application just to manage roles. Is there some way to manage roles locally within the application? I can build this out, but was wondering if Windows Authentication has this built in or not. Thanks.

Use "RoleProvider" class to authenticate user roles by adding the roleManager configuration tag in web.config
