Answer 1

I am assuming you are using the builtin roleManager here and membership.

If you are using a menu control I believe the menu will honor location permissions if the target links are setup appropriately. So if you add to your web.config something like this (haven't checked exact markup, but hope you get the idea):

<location path="admin/admin.aspx">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow roles="Admin" />
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>
<location path="hr/hr.aspx">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow roles="HR" />
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

If you are building a custom menu something as simple as

<% if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Admin"){ %> <li>Admin Menu</li> <% } %> 

around your menu items should do the trick

Answer 2

Any control with runat="server" has a Visible attribute that can be bound to using,

Visible='<%# IsAdmin %>'

In the code IsAdmin is a property you create that returns a bool. An invisible item won't be rendered. Set the visible property for each of your menu's to IsAdmin, IsHR and IsIT and only those menu's will get viewed when their property return's true.

By the way, it's a habit to use single quotes around the bind because sometimes you want to use a double quote within the bind statement. In this case double quotes would work just fine as well.
