Web.sitemap - multiple files based on user profile (NOT Roles)

[randysmid]

Hi,
Has anyone tried to set up a MasterPage with multiple Web.sitemap's based on a specific user profile? Actually, I've got the user type (or role) from a Session variable (currentUserType and currentUserName). I have 5 different user/role types (User, Manager, OffSvcsMgr, OffSvcsEmployee, and Accounting), so I don't think "roles" will work for me.

Can someone provide any insight into this? It is very much appreciated!!!

Can this be accomplished in the Web.config file?

TIA, Randy

Why won't roles work for you?

Hi,
I don't really understand that much about the "roles" property as part of web.sitemap. I was under the impression it only provides for 3 roles, such as "Admin" and a one or two more.

So, can we create our own roles? If so, how do we implement this into our web forms? Can you refer me to a good tutorial on how to make this work?

TIA, Randy
