Does web.config role and usernames resolve spaces?

Question

Is the following valid? Are roles / usernames allowed for spaces?

<location path="MyPage.aspx">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow role="Good User" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>

Answer 1

Yes this: -)

Actually, it depends on MembershipProvider / RoleProvider. But all standard ones (SQL, Windows, AD) allow spaces.

Answer 2

Use allow roles multiple times if there are spaces in your groups:

<system.web>
    <authorization>
        <allow roles="User Group 1"/>
        <allow roles="User Group 2"/>
        <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>
</system.web>
