About using ASP.NET security and Membership in web applications

I have 3 questions about using ASP.NET security and Membership in web applications

  1. Do people outside localhost have any means of accessing the ASP.NET security control panel?

  2. What is the best way to edit security? Is it by opening the website through VS2010 and editing security, or there is another way or some control panel I can use?

  3. I can't edit security while the folder is in wwwroot, so I have to cut it into desktop, edit its security the put it back in wwwroot folder. I don't think this is an acceptable way at all, any better ideas?

1: No you cannot access the WSAT tool outside of localhost and it has to be used in conjunction with VS. (Note: I have seen people trying that but somehow it isn't easy.

2: You can use modules already created by others as one mentioned by Zack. Similar one is here. Or you can use Membership/Roles API to write your own pages do this work.

3: Not sure what is going on with your wwwroot issue. May be it could be some permission issue. Are you getting any error?

The Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT) is the default means to manage a ASP.NET site out of the box. If you want a deployable solution that can be integrated into your website you should look at the MyWSAT project on CodePlex. It provides all the features of WSAT.
