It sounds like you want AzMan, or authorization manager. ASP.NET includes
an AzMan role provider, and then you would use the activedirectory
membership provider.

AzMan allows you to specify complex operations, tasks, and groups. This
way, you can say Members with the "can edit foozles" operation can enable
that button (though this requires a little bit of work to make work right).

AzMan comes with Windows 2003, and you can install it in XP or Windows 2000
by downloading it.

It doesn't seem to be available unless your AD is 2003.

That's true, however you could always use ADAM and syncronize your Win2000
AD with ADAM
