Hai at the time of creating u cannot set roles..If that is the case then every user newly created will select admin as the role and do damage to the site.....So this the work of the administrator to manage it...(i.e)Go to webadministration tool site as u did it for creating the roles and select the users and give access right accordingly.... To view who as logged in select LOGIN VIEW option and drag it to the wbsite..Dragging Login status would also be useful... Hope this helps.. If Someway my answer helped u don't forget to mark it as correct answer....

Hai to set admin and other user rights....drag a login control on to your asp.net website .Then click the small triangle on it top right corner.IT shows all the login tasks... 1)autoformat-->where u can change the design of login control 2)Administer website 3)template For our purpose select administer website--> and in it Select security where u can create new user roles and administer roles.. There u can set the access rights for each user...and u very play with it according to your purposes.... Hope this helps...Any doubts feel free to ask....
