How do I implement role-based authorization

Role-based authorization is a security paradigm that restricts system access to authorized users based on their roles within an organization. This approach is commonly used in web applications to ensure that users can only access resources and perform actions consistent with their assigned roles.

Example Implementation

Here’s an example of how to implement role-based authorization in a C# ASP.NET application:

// Using ASP.NET Core Identity public class Startup { public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddAuthorization(options => { options.AddPolicy("AdminOnly", policy => policy.RequireRole("Admin")); options.AddPolicy("UserOnly", policy => policy.RequireRole("User")); }); // Other service configurations... } public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) { app.UseAuthorization(); // Other middleware configurations... } } // Controller Example [Authorize(Policy = "AdminOnly")] public class AdminController : Controller { public IActionResult Index() { return View(); } }
