2. In the top-right corner, you see a Help link that takes you to a help file describing how you can use
the tool. Right below the logo of the application, you see four tabs: Home, Security, Application,
and Provider. The Home tab takes you back to the start page you see in Figure 16-16. You use
the Application tab to configure different application settings, and the Provider tab enables you
to reconfigure the chosen provider for the application. In this exercise, all that’s important is the
Security tab, so go ahead and click it. You should see the screen displayed in Figure 16-17.
The bottom part of the screen is divided into three parts: Users, Roles, and Access Rules. You see
how to use Users and Roles in this exercise. Access Rules is used to block or open up specific parts
of your website to users or roles. You won’t see how to use it in this chapter, but instead you learn
how to change some of these settings in Web.config directly in a later exercise.
3. Make sure that under Users, you see the Create User and Manage Users links. If you don’t see them,
but you see a note about Windows authentication instead, click the Select Authentication Type link,
select From the Internet, and click Done. Your screen should now look like Figure 16-17.
4. In the Roles section, click the Enable Roles link. The page reloads and now offers a link with
the text Create or Manage Roles. Click that link to open the Create New Role page visible in
Figure 16-18.
5. Enter Managers as the new role name and click the Add Role button. You should see the new role
appear. Click the Back button at the bottom-right of the page to return to the main Security page.
6. Click the Create User link in the Users section. You’re taken to a page that enables you to enter the
details for a new user and assign that user to the Managers role at the same time. Type Manager
as the username. As a password, enter something that meets the password rules you configured
earlier. A password like Manager##123 will do. Enter your e-mail address and then check the check
box for the Managers role name in the list of roles on the right.
