This project intends to extend the default ASP.NET role based Security to include Permission Based / Page Level Authorization Layer. Works with both ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC. Permission rules to Allow/Deny access to website resources (like "Folder/File.aspx" or "Controller/Action") are stored in DB.
