Remarks

FindUsersInRole returns a list of users in a role where the user name contains a match of the supplied usernameToMatch for the configured applicationName. For example, if the usernameToMatch parameter is set to "user," then the users "user1," "user2," "user3," and so on are returned. Users are returned in alphabetical order by user name.

The SqlRoleProvider performs its search using a LIKE clause against the usernameToMatch parameter. Any wildcards that are supported by SQL Server in LIKE clauses can be used in the usernameToMatch parameter value.
