To enable the role manager, you need to add the corresponding tags to the web.Config file, and don't forget to change the enable= "tru" in the role manager tag implecitily

You can find these tags of your ASP.Net applications on the : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config file
