Question

I am trying to implement a simple authorization feature for a tentative web community.

I do not know whether I should use Microsoft built-in Membership/Authorization feature or

create everything from scratch. I wish to know if the built-in feature has any restriction

that might hinder professional enterprise programmers from using it. If so, how should I

begin with writing the code from scratch? If not, is there any tutorial around to build

Membership/Authorization feature in MVC4? I am using MVC4 but have no previous experience

with Membership/Authorization feature in MVC projects. It seems that the feature in MVC4 is

somewhat different from that of MVC3, giving me hard time following up MVC3 tutorials.

No, none that I know of, I think this ASP.NET Membership Feature is also being used here at StackOverflow. Related Link

You will have to google that out.

Yes implementing and using Membership/Authorization feature is same across MVC3 and MVC4.
