ASP.NET vs. SharePoint: User and Group Authorization
Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010
This topic points out the primary difference between the way that user and group authorization is developed on Microsoft ASP.NET and the way that it is developed in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Developing an Authorization System
Developers of ASP.NET applications generally must create their own authorization system from scratch. However, SharePoint Foundation already has an extendable authorization system with a rich object model. For more information about this system and how to program against it, see Authorization and Authentication, Authorization Object Relations, Authorization Object Model, and the other topics under the Authorization, Users, and Groups node of the SDK.
