I have attached my sample.
In Login aspx, button click
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Session["User"] = "Admin";
//Session["User"] = "Users";
Session["User"] = "Coordinators";
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
}

then in master.aspx file. i added an id for Li control.

Sales

Order Booking Management

Customer Appreciation

Customer Feedback

then in master.cs page_load

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (Session["User"] == "Users")

{

SalesMenulist.Visible = false;

}

if (Session["User"] == "Coordinators")

{

PurchaseMenu.Visible = false;

}

else if (Session["User"] == "Admin")

{

//do nothing

}

}

Please let me know if you have questions

Just check the user role in page_load and make the menu visible/invisible.

void page_load()
{
if (user.role=="Coordinator)
{
lbl_Menu1.Visible=true;
lbl_Menu2.Visible=true;
lbl_Menu3.Visible=false;
}
else if (user.role=="User)
{
   lbl_Menu1.Visible=true;
lbl_Menu2.Visible=false;
lbl_Menu3.Visible=true;
}
else if   (user.role=="Admin)
{
    lbl_Menu1.Visible=true;
lbl_Menu2.Visible=true;
lbl_Menu3.Visible=true;
}
}

like this you can make the menu items visible or hide.
