2005 Login control

[windle.johnson]

I have dropped the 2005 login control on my page and set up a user in
the development enviroment using the administration tool that comes
with 2005. I have now deployed the website and I need to add more
users. Is there a way to use the admin tool from the server without
having to go through the development environment?

The safest approach would be to add a form to your application that
contains a CreateUserWizard control from the toolbox. The control
gives you all the UI you need with no code.

Several ways:
1) Change your web.config to point to production database, then, you
can use your development admin to make changes in production
2) Use your SQL scripts, SMO application, what have you, to copy data
out of development databases and copy them into production databases.
3) There is a dangerous hack to set up a virtual directory on
production website to point to your aspnetadmin, but I wouldn't
recommend it.

You could create a tool to manage the users remotely.
Or you could use this code that's already been written:

I've added this control but I don't see how to assign roles to a user.
I don't see a way to create new roles. How do I approve the users?
