title: Is there a way i can give permissions based on the groups of active directory in my asp.net web application?
body: <p>I am trying to achieve the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Authenticate users against Active directory.</li>
  <li>If the user belongs to group "A" i want to limit user rights </li>
  <li>If the user belongs to group "B" i want to have some other logic in my code.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am able to achieve the first one in the above list.</p>
  
  <p>I am using forms authentication in my web application(Intranet).I did some research and there are various suggestions to use Microsoft  Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) which i m completely unaware of.Is there a way i can achieve the above with out using ADAM? Say suppose get the group list into the code and based on that can i make a call if user belongs to some group and so on..</p>
  
  <p>Is is that i am thinking only on group level which limits my options?
  Or is there a way other than giving user access rights from group level
  or am i completely not understanding the concept of Active directory authentication ?</p>
