Advice for/against implementing .NET Membership/Role provider on existing website

Asked by G0ggy in .NET Framework 3.x versions, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, .NET Framework 2.0

Tags: ASP.NET, VB.NET, .NET Membership & Role Provider

Hi all,

I have an existing website which has a simple role implementation at the moment. Basically a persons profile in the database indicates whether they are a Manager or Administrator or Trainer etc... This worked fine when the website was initially developed as there was no need to complicate things any further.

Now we are at the stage where persons are requried to upload training material to the website, but even though they may be a trainer, they will not have access to the material unless they have been on the training course.

My conundrum is this, do I program my own groups and roles into the website as the users table already exists or do I try and create a custom membership and role provider through .NET?

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
