HttpException

The AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider instance is configured with a file-based policy store, and read access to the file is not allowed at the current trust level.

The GetUsersInRole method is called by the Roles class to retrieve the list of users associated with the specified role in the authorization-manager policy store specified in the ASP.NET application's configuration file (Web.config).

The GetUsersInRole method only returns user names that are directly contained in the authorization-manager role specified by the roleName parameter. The underlying authorization-manager API called by the GetUsersInRole method does not support group expansion, so users contained in nested NT groups, nested authorization-manager groups, and LDAP query groups will not be returned.

The following code example uses the GetUsersInRole method to get a list of the users in a particular role and bind the results to a System.Web.UI.WebControls::GridView control. For an example of a Web.config file that enables role management, see AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider.
