You can use role-based security with Forms authentication, but you will probably need to define the
roles for each of your users in the database so that you can retrieve and assign them when a user
logs in. The following MS KB article should get you started:

How To Implement Role-Based Security with Forms-Based Authentication in Your ASP.NET Application by
Using Visual Basic .NET

Here is some additional info concerning Forms authentication and SQL Server:
