using windows authentication but having roles specific to the application?

I am interesting in finding out if it is possible to use windows authentication for a asp.net application, but where the roles are application specific.

I want to have administrator role for the application, HRIS superuser, and standard user. The default would be a standard user role unless modified otherwise.

Is it possible to use windows authentication, so that a person does not have to sign in separately from already being logged on and authenticated by windows, have the application know who the user is, and have the roles for the application at the application level? ( ie not roles from windows signon)

If so does any one know of an article that shows how this is done?

Thanks
