Check authorization from xml userwise

Question

I have xml as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<menus>
  <menu name="WeightManagement">
    <user name="eu01\bsoni"></user>
    <user name="eu01\bve"></user>
  </menu>
  <menu name="CategoryManagement">
    <user name="eu01\bsoni"></user>
  </menu>
</menus>

I have windows authentication and want o check if user "eu01\bve" has access to Weight Management or CategoryManagement menu.

How can I do with checking randomly from xml for menu and user?

You can also do

var doc=XDocument.Load(yourXmlFile);
string access=doc.Descendants().Elements("user")
                 .Where(x=>x.Attribute("name").Value=="eu01\bve")
                                                       ---------
                 .First().Parent.Attribute("name").Value;
