asp.net User.IsInRole check in whole website

Question

im using asp.net with c#,

I want to check whether a user is on certain active directory group.

Im doing this check:

   if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Group"]))
        {

        }

The thing is: where do I place this code? The site has several pages and I want the validation to be on all pages.

Do I put this on the master page?

Thanks.

What do you want to do if the user is not in the required role? Depending on the answer to that question, you could:

check it in the Master page
check it in a base Page from which your Page code-behind classes derive
check it in global.asax, for example in the Application_AuthorizeRequest event handler

... etc ...
