Forms Authentication with Multiple MVC Areas

Question

I have a simple task to accomplish, I am creating an application that has two types of users, Admins and Users.

And it is very close to what I need to do.

So the simple question is how do you have different login schemes using Forms Authentication in different areas on an MVC site?

putting security attributes in web.config many not be the best thing to do as explained by the post How can we set authorization for a whole area in ASP.NET MVC?. Please consider applying attributes at the controller level eg

[Authorize(Roles = "User, Administrator")]

or

[Authorize(Roles = "User")]

or

[Authorize(Roles = "User, Administrator")]

Happy Coding
