I would like to user Roles based authorization in ASP.net and jump directly to it without the hassle of setting up 'Membership' and all that precedes.

Most books I have looked up don't show flexibility in Roles API - use database setup using aspnet_regsql and go through all the Membership, FormsAuthentication etc.

I have my own Database and custom Authentication model, I just want to use the Roles API (that too with the tables already set up, if possible).

Could anyone provide me links to tutorials that show with what minimal changes I can start using Roles API and avoid all other features that kind of come bundled with it ?
