Well, the problem is that I've divided my users into different groups. And those groups have various levels of authorities. The problem that occurs is that, not knowing which browser-tab is using my application, I can't be sure what permissions to give to the application-user should users use the same browser (on different tabs).

You mean like two different users in one and the same browser?

Well, first of all, there are plenty web applications, like for example web mail and Internet banking, that enable you two open two, or more, tabs or windows. However, you can either limit the number of connections or check for a user/session ID by adding/using a user/session specific global var or a property on one of the available objects, like for example the window or document.

I'm currently writing a .NET application and I run into a problem using multi-tab browsers (like FireFox). I'm using the unique ASP.NET session-id to keep track of security issues with a logged-in user. The session id is one-on-one with his/her security account. However, when using 2 tabs in FireFox, one session-id is used by both tabs. It undermines my procedures. How can I deal with this problem? How do I make each tab-session unique?
It's the same browser, so it uses the same cookies (which presumably matches up to the ASP.NET session ID). Why do you care which tab the user is in? Perhaps they wanted to see your website in two tabs at the same time...
