Security is such a vast topic it's very hard to give you the correct answer without a little more info.

Is this a Windows application or Web Based solution?

Will this be running within a corporate network and have access to Active Directory for integreated security?

If this is an Asp.Net application, I'd advise you to use the inbuilt User \ Membership \ Role functionality which does it's job well.

My database is on server, and client applications join to server. But there is a specific action declared for each client. for example some of clients register customers, some of them just informs customers, and one client does financial operations. depending on the user type, menus of application must be specified. In other word, cashier must not be able to access the register menu.
