title: Adding Areas to an MVC application - any gotchas?
body: <p>I have an ASP.net MVC application that has been in Production for a while. I would like to add a new Admin section to the application which I wanted to do by creating a new Area. I'm just curious what sorts of things I might need to be aware of when adding this new area.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there any existing functionality that is likely to break by adding the new Area?</li>
  <li>What is the best way to make an Area restricted to a certain group? Base controller class?</li>
  <li>Any other things (common mistakes, etc.) that I need to be aware of that adding a new Area will affect?</li>
  </ol>
