Authorization based on user's class (role/member) with mysql

Question

I used to edit Web.config before in order to allow some users to access some pages/folder, eg:

  <location path="Admin">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users ="?" />
        <allow users ="Administrator" />
        <deny users ="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

That is quite smart and straightforward.

Now I need to allow a class of users to access some folders. Unfortunately, it seems not such easy as it is for single users. I read about roles and members but I only found official documentation about implementing that with a MSSQL database.

What is the most straightforward way to set up a roles/members based authorization with a MySql database?
