In your business layer create a class called Authorization and a method called Authorize
public static class Authorization
{


public static bool Authorize(int UserId , string Action)
{

List allowedActions =(retrieve actions based on roles of logged in user based on his Id).ToList();

if(userActions.Contains.(Action))
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
On Edit click
private void Edit ()
{
if(Authorization.Authorize(1,"Edit"))
{
//do your work
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Not Allowed");
}
now in each event pass the userId and Action for example on Edit click pass action as Edit
if the user has right to perform edit then it will return true.
your table structure might be

RoleId
RoleName
1 Admin
2 Editor

RoleId ActionId
1 1
2

1

ActionId ActionName
1 Edit
2 Add

Hi Talha,

For the role base authorization in windows form project, you can create the custom structure with database.
1. Create the UserMaster, RoleMaster and UserRoleMapper tables in database.
2. There are no. of users in UserMaster, Roles in RoleMaster and you can assign the multiple roles to single user by using UserRoleMapper.
3. UserRoleMapper have UserId and RoleId.
4. Just insert the UserId and RoleId for perticuler user i.e
UserId RoleId
1 1
1 2
2 1
5. Same way you can give the access to the perticular role from database or from front end.

RoleId	RoleName
1	Admin
2	Editor

RoleId	ActionId
1	1
2	1

ActionId	ActionName
1	Edit
2	Add

UserId	RoleId
1	1
1	2
2	1
