google for URL authorization. There you can define users and their roles can be allowed

Usually the menu links to an URL. So..

In your web config file have like this

XML

<system.web>
    <authorization>
        <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>
</system.web>
<location path="Default2.aspx">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="Jack" />
            <deny users="*" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>

so the default2.aspx will be only allowed for the users assigned. Can use comma separated users.

For more detail refer this link..

i didn't mean that, actually i have a tree view control instead of menu and i want to define 4 type of user for example admin , customer ,... and i need that when a user log into the site the tree automatically recognize the user and just show him his related forms or links

For that you can map user type to a link list in a table and use that to show appropriate menus. Links again refer to an URL actually (an another aspx page/ webform right). So you can't escape from implementing url authorization. Because though you hide the links, a use can paste the hided link in the browser navigation bar and access that page. So it is not just hiding the page, but you have to secure it.

thats true , but the point is how to do it? you meant to create a login page? so i have to assign username and pass? i think i could analyse what you offer, and thank you for consideration :)
