Basic Membership and Roles Question Migrating from Class ASP

[needin4mation]

Hi, right now I have a classic ASP site that filters users based upon a
MySQL database. The database was created with users and groups tables.
Based upon the values in the database a user is allowed to see certain
controls or menu options on the page.

Does ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Roles replace this? Can I turn off and
on menu items and controls with it? Is using the built in asp.net sql
server database that is created with the solution the way this is done
now?

Thank you for any help.

2.0 is based on the "Provider Model"

Basically, they've created the framework to allow you to roll your own OR
use the default version. Most documentation you see is based on the default
implementation.

If you already have alot of users in a db, you might want to roll your own.
