Setting User/Group Permissions Fails

Vote:
 
Error: Failed to save access rights for the page and/or its children. This may be caused by having a user with the same name as a group.
Has anyone experienced this? How would I be able to tell which group or user has the same name if as we have so many groups and users?

The error isn't very specific about which user or group is causing the problem.

If you can run some code that looks like this you should be able to find it

 var collection = Membership.GetAllUsers();
            string[] roles = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetAllRoles();

            foreach (MembershipUser user in collection)
            {
                foreach (string role in roles)
                {
                    if (role.Equals(user.UserName))
                        return "same username and role name " + role;
                }
                
            }

    

}

That did not return any roles, the roles collection was empty.

string[] roles = System.Web.Security.Roles.GetAllRoles();  

 should return all roles defined. Therefor I quess the problem is in your RoleProvider secion of web.config.
