Solution 2

You can manually set Session.Timeout property based on user type.

You can call Session.Timeout property after user successfully logs in.

In that case, one approach - separate admin and investor pages into different virtual directories but in the hierarchy of same parent. In the child Directory, override the web.config settings of parent as required.

Another approach - Depend on Javascript which checks 20mins/40mins time out based on his role into aspx, Irrespective of server session time, you will call session.abandon for the role prematurely.
But web.config should have session time out ( max(time) of all roles) as MAX of all role timeouts..

Hope it helps!

Solution 3

We need to implement the Session.TimeOut Functionality for the given user at runtime while authorizing them
