I just posted above

then your only option is to :

1 - add a new custom action in Nop_CustomerActions table :called "NewActionName"
2 - Create the new roles
3 - Assign the Action right to that role
4 - Check if user is logged in
5 - if user is logged in then check if he has access to the new action:

ACLManager.IsActionAllowed("NewActionName");

But i guess ACL Manager is in 1.5 version, but i am using 1.4 version, i am confused about the fact that in 1.4 version, what is the use of role management HERE
If we create role here what's the use / disadvantage of creating role in between when the website is Live ?

the roles can have discounts attached - eg

you could create a role such as    loyalty discount   then create a 20% discount attached to that role   and then attach

customer  'mike' to this role


then mike gets the 20% discount

Please guys guide me in solving this issue of tech.aspx page private for selected users only

hmm.. sorry I did not read the question properly before..

Are you using a shared hosting with a control panel?

If so could you not use the control panel and make a new folder call it 'Tech' and password protect it? and upload your pages to this?

Sorry i didn't get what do you mean by shared hosting and it's control panel ?, My website is on the in-house company server which is only for the website, and how to connect a server with a folder ?

and my issue is not possible in programming ? i mean what my requirement is not possible ?

Even better,

You could just password protect the 'Tech' folder in IIS? then all users will be prompted to login before they enter the tech folder..

Thanks Mike for the suggestion, i will try it and i will reply here back if that works for me or not...

I tried making the folder protect by password

I followed these steps to protect a folder by password : (Windows on server - MS Windows Server 2003)

   1.  Select the folder you wish to encrypt.
   2. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
   3. Click the Advanced button.
   4. Check "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
   5. Click Apply and then Ok.


After doing these things it never asks for any password: it gives this page
