Configure webcontrol properties through Web.Config?

Is it possible to configure webcontrol properties through Web.Config and
also to combine these with autorisation?

It would look something like this:

<location path="Admin">
    <system.web>
    <form id="newUser">
        <control id="userRank">
              <authorization>
               <allow roles="administrator"/>
               <deny users="*"/>
              </authorization>
        </control>
    </form>
    </system.web>
</location>

This would mean that only if a user has role of "administrator" he would
be able to see the control "userRank" in the form "newUser"

TIA

Look at the Login controls.

You may find the Login View control does part of what you want.
Otherwise, you can set the Visible property on any control based on
whether or not a user is in a role or not. To do that you need the
Membership and Role providers enabled.

You can see my configurations here...
