Add the runat and id tags to your menu items

<Items>
    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" Text="Home" id="mnuDefault" runat="server"/>
    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About.aspx" Text="About" id="mnuAbout" runat="server"/>
</Items>

then in your codebehind you can program against them and set enabled = false

page load
If (Userrole==Something)
{
    mnuAbout.Enabled = false;
}

 //Going through first level items
 if (e.item.NavigateUrl == "")
    e.item.Enabled = false;

 //Going through submenu item
foreach (MenuItem item in e.Item.Items)
{
     if (item.NavigateUrl == "")
         item.Enabled = false;
}
