claims-based-authorization

What problem does it solve?

Claims-based authorization simplifies access control by evaluating claims issued to a user, enabling policy-based access across ASP.NET Core apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Policy-based authorization: define policies that require specific claims or claim values.
• Apply policies to controllers, Razor Pages, or actions using attributes like [Authorize] and [AllowAnonymous].
• Combine multiple policies to enforce complex access rules (e.g., EmployeeOnly and HumanResources).
• Use real-world examples to design and test authorization logic in secure applications.

Quick Start

Configure an ASP.NET Core app to enforce a policy named EmployeeOnly that requires the EmployeeNumber claim, register it with AddAuthorization, and apply it to a controller or page.
