<roleManager enabled="true" />
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="9820" defaultUrl="Food.aspx" cookieless="AutoDetect" >
</forms >
</authentication >
<location path="ProtectedPage.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="sml" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
you can use URL Authorization for that
<location path="page.aspx" />
<authorization>
<allow users="Bob" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</location>

<secureWebPages>
<files>
<add path="Default.aspx" secure="Insecure" />
<add path="Admin/MoreAdminStuff.aspx" secure="Ignore" />
<add path="Legal/Copyright.aspx" secure="Ignore" />
<add path="Lib/PopupCalendar.aspx" secure="Ignore" />
</files>
<directories>
<add path="/" recurse="False" />
<add path="Admin" />
<add path="Admin/Info" secure="Insecure" />
<add path="Members/Secure" recurse="True" />
