Customizing authorization

Syntax

<location path="">

<system.web>

<authorization>

<allow users=""/>

</authorization>

</system.web>

</location>

Remarks

<location>: point to a folder/file inside the website folder that needs to be applied a special setting rather than the inherited setting (from the application folder). There are four paths that we need to configure: Guidelines, RequestPassword.aspx, /Common/WaitingPage.aspx, and Images.

<allow users>: we use the two following types of authorization:

'*': All users, including authenticated and anonymous users.

'?': all non-authenticated, or anonymous, users.
