It is just a tip of the ice berg. You need ASP.Net Membership and Role Providers, and configure few settings. You can implement your own providers, but it is easier to use the default ones.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/SQL-Membership.aspx

http://odetocode.com/articles/427.aspx

<system.web>

    <membership>
        <providers>
            <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>
            <add applicationName="YOURAPPNAME" name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ASPNETDBConnectionString" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""/>
        </providers>
    </membership>
    <roleManager enabled="true" cacheRolesInCookie="false">
        <providers>
            <remove name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider"/>
            <add applicationName="YOURAPPNAME" connectionStringName="ASPNETDBConnectionString" name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
        </providers>
    </roleManager>

</system.web>

You need to have RoleProvider http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8fw7xh74.aspx

If you are using Windows Authentication, the roles will be your AD groups.

If you are using Form Authentication, you can implement your own RoleProvider or use SQL Role Provider.
