what I DONT know is this. If someone is logged in, no matter what role they belong to, I want to show them a link to edit their profile, as well as a few other common tasks (ie site based messaging, mailbox, blah blah). Is there a 'common' template that will be shown and then the rolegroups role match stuff shown beneath or above it? For example. My site has 'members' and it has 'authors' I want to have an 'editprofile' link available to both but it would be nice to NOT have to put that link in both rolegroup templates. The problem being that my site has several roles in it and a few template items are common across the board.

Thanks

I got it, just so you know. Not sure if is the right way..but

<asp:LoginView id="loginview1" runat="server">
 <RoleGroups>
  <asp:RoleGroup Roles="Administrators,Members">
   <ContentTemplate>
   all my common links
   </ContentTemplate>
  </asp:RoleGroup>
 </RoleGroups>
</asp:LoginView>

<asp:LoginView id="loginview1" runat="server">
 <RoleGroups>
   <asp:RoleGroup Roles="Administrators">
    <ContentTemplate>
     Administrators Links
    </ContentTemplate>
   </asp:RoleGroup>
  <asp:RoleGroup Roles="Members">
   <ContentTemplate>
    Members Links
   </ContentTemplate>
  </asp:RoleGroup>
 </RoleGroups>
</asp:LoginView>
