Try with below code:

Consider there are two roles Admin and User. Menu1 is ID of main menu and it contains 3 sub menus AdminReports, MasterReport, UserReport. Admin can see AdminReport and MasterReport but not UserReport. User role can see UserReport not other reports.

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	// Get user role from session
	string role = Session["role"];
	if (role == "User")
	{
        // Disable the sub menu item
		MenuItem menuItem = Menu1.FindItem("AdminReport");		
		menuItem.Enabled = false;
		
		// Remove the sub menu item
		MenuItem menuItem1 = Menu1.FindItem("MasterReport");
		Menu1.Items.Remove(menuItem1);	
	}
	else if(role == "Admin")
	{
		MenuItem menuItem = Menu1.FindItem("UserReport"); 
		// Disable the sub menuitem
		menuItem.Enabled = false;			
	}
}

alright should be simple enough.
You have your method for checking if the user does have access to the user role it is provided?

Lets call it UserHasRole for the sake of the example.
UserHasRole returning a boolean value.

so in your aspx page try using codeBlocks.

HTML

<![CDATA[<% if (UserHasRole(userrole,userID))
{%>]]>
     Declare menuItem Here
<![CDATA[<%}%>]]>

UserHasRole might need to be declared in the codebehind of the page trying to access it. That is dependant on how your asp.net appplication in setup.

Thanks Manas_Kumar,but my Problem Here is i am getting role permissions from the database
so according to that menu items has to be displayed
for example
User1 have menu item access of 5,8,9,15 i.e, menu sub items (reports),analysis,adding,deleting etc,
user 2 have access for 10,20,30 menu items ie view, print, deploy etc
similarly the other users
so when ever user1 copying the 10 menuitem url in his address bar it is showing that page, i dont want to display likethat
so according to the database i must keep the menus visible to the users.

and i forget to mention that the menu is also displaying dynamically according to the type of user
