Your Question it not clear .But again Enable From Authentication by adding this line
<system.web>
<!--Session state Time Out-->
<sessionState timeout="60" />
<!--My authontication module-->
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="PROJECTNAME.ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" protection="All" path="/" timeout="60"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
and It will secure the web application.If you want to access any particular folder then create a folder and add Web.config file.and in web.cofig file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<!--Defualt access grant sa=11,admin=12-->
<allow roles="admin"/>
<!--Order and case are important below-->
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
prevent access of users of role other than admin
and create role by
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1, // Ticket version
Convert.ToString(user.UserID), // Username associated with ticket
DateTime.Now, // Date/time issued
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(60), // Date/time to expire
false, // "true" for a persistent user cookie
Convert.ToString(user.RoleID), // User-data, in this case the roles
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);// Path cookie valid for
// Encrypt the cookie using the machine key for secure transport
string hash = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, // Name of auth cookie
hash); // Hashed ticket
// Set the cookie's expiration time to the tickets expiration time
if (ticket.IsPersistent) cookie.Expires = ticket.Expiration;
// Add the cookie to the list for outgoing response
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
