hey Arno, I figure out that you are a sharepoint MVP, & I m stuck with a problem here, I want to ask you some questions about live id integration into sharepoint & since i dont have ur email forgive me for contacting you here. my problem isnt how to integrate live id integration into sharepoint sites i referred to the solution provided by Keith at http://blog.solanite.com/keith/WLA/default.aspx with alot of customization & i was fairly succesful in doing so, but then i am stuck at one issue i.e. i am not able to authorize the users for the site say for example i want some users to have admin rights & some not but i m not able to enable this the membership provider & role provider are given in the code & i m not actually familiar about how to tweak them. I m asking this cos in future i will going to use audience targeting n that will not be possible if i wont be able to assign users to particular security groups. can u in an way guide me how i can do that. thanks for any help u can provide.
