Restrict access based on member group via web.config?

I have an elmah running and want to restrict it so only people in the member group "Admin" can see it.

Here's what I have:

   <location path="elmah.axd">       
        <system.web>
            <authorization>
                <deny users="*"/>
                <allow roles="Admin"/>
            </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>

I have that above the umbraco <location> block.

That's not working though. Should it?

Hi Nate

I don't think this is going to work (and if you can prove otherwise, please report back), but you could follow Lee's blog post and deny any user to acccess Elmah via it's normal path and create a dashboard control to which only users of type admin have access to.

Cheers,

/Dirk
