It seems this is an age old issue. Short of using security, it seems you will need to either have three different service interfaces or use security (uid, pwd) and vet in each service method. There is a ton of info answers out there but it comes down to each service method being publically available. I saw one implementation using ASHX but it did not sit well with me.

It looks ulternate solution but not exact one.

This is not alternate! This is your question which does not make perfect sense. See the difference? Interface is interface, a fixed type which is ether implemented or not.
More exactly, the solutions is: different interfaces, but inheriting from each other, to have shared members declared only once. That's it.

Mike gets my vote of 4, your question: 1. :-)

Sergey, My question is very straight. I just wanted to know if there is any possibility or work around.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 11-Dec-13 10:37am

It just makes no sense, hiding a member of the interface.
Nevertheless, we already told you a sensible workaround. Create thee different interfaces by inheriting from some common-part interface(s). Share the implementation of common part.
