Authorization in ASP.Net MVC using XML Configuration.

Doing authorization in a clean way is always tricky, You want delicate balance between extreme abstraction and embedding roles in-side your compiled code, I have always preferred simple abstraction either using roles and their corresponding mappings in the database or using simple xml file to store action to role mappings. Asp.net MVC comes with built in Authorization filter attribute that you can use on your Controller and Action to define the role that can access corresponding Controller or Action. This approach will work fine for small application where you have predefined action to role mappings, but when you have bigger application where developers are not going to define role mappings and mappings might change frequently then maintenance of hard quoted roles might become nightmare.
