Apart from these tabs, there are a number of other features and components associated with the ASP.NET Web Administration tool. The ASP.NET Configuration APIs which the ASP.NET Web Site Administration tool makes use of to access and modify the security and application settings in the Web.config file is one of them.

== Programmatic Accessaccess ==

Programmatic access to the features provided by the ASP.NET Web Site administration tool is made possible by inclusion of the ''System.Web.Security'' namespace in the ASP.NET program. The classes ''Membership'' and ''Roles'' are used to store, access and modify user information in the ASPNETDB database. The user could be authenticated using the ''Membership.ValidateUser'' or ''FormsAuthentication.Authenticate'' <ref name="authentication_authenticate">{{Cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.formsauthentication.authenticate.aspx|title=FormsAuthentication.Authenticate Method |accessdate=2008-05-23|publisher=MSDN}}</ref> methods. Page-based user authorization is realized by the usage of the ''AuthorizeRequest'' event of the ''HttpApplication'' class<ref name="msdn_authorizerequest">{{Cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpapplication.authorizerequest.aspx|title=HttpApplication..::.AuthorizeRequest Event|accessdate=2008-05-23|publisher=MSDN}}</ref>.
