How to use Roles with ASP.MVC

So I have a very basic flag (and thats all I need or want) That when a users logs in to identify if that user is an administrator.

Ive never use Role(Role manager) before, so want it really simple.

Im my config I have 

<roleManager enabled="true" cacheRolesInCookie="true">
</roleManager>

on my login controller, (I want to do something very simple like)

 var usertoken = new UserToken(user.Id, user.AccountId, user.UserName, user.IsAdmin);
if(user.IsAdmin)
Roles.AddUserToRole(usertoken.UserName,"Admin");

but I just get an error saying "Unable to connect to SQL Server database." Solution?

Have you created the asp.net Role Management tables in your database?? Have you set your ConnectionString against the Role Manager??

Please have a look at these links

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms164660(v=vs.100).aspx Asp.net User Roles Management: Where to Begin

Once you have set these, you can use Authorize attribute or you could use User.Identity in everywhere
