SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Centralizes and standardizes authorization across ASP.NET Core apps by enabling policy-based access control with reusable requirements and handlers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define reusable IAuthorizationRequirement and IAuthorizationHandler components.
  • Register policies via services.AddAuthorization and enforce them with [Authorize(Policy = "...")] or RequireAuthorization.
  • Create single or multiple handlers for OR/AND evaluation and easily test authorization logic.
  • Use the Resource/HttpContext in handlers to tailor policy evaluation to the current request.

Quick Start

Enable policy-based authorization in a new ASP.NET Core app by configuring services:

  • In Program.cs or Startup.cs, add services.AddAuthorization(...);
  • Create a MinimumAgeRequirement and a MinimumAgeHandler, register them in DI, and apply a policy with [Authorize(Policy = "AtLeast21")];
  • Build and run, then test with a user that satisfies the policy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement policy-based authorization in ASP.NET Core?▼

Policy-based authorization in ASP.NET Core is implemented by defining IAuthorizationRequirement, implementing IAuthorizationHandler, registering them in DI, and enforcing policies via [Authorize(Policy = "...")] or RequireAuthorization.

What is policy-based authorization and when should I use it in ASP.NET Core?▼

Policy-based authorization centralizes access control by evaluating reusable requirements and handlers across controllers, Razor Pages, and endpoints. Use it to standardize consistent authorization logic throughout ASP.NET Core apps.

Can I use multiple IAuthorizationHandler implementations for a single policy in ASP.NET Core?▼

Yes, you can create multiple IAuthorizationHandler implementations for a single IAuthorizationRequirement to achieve OR or AND evaluation logic, allowing flexible and easily testable authorization conditions in ASP.NET Core.

How do I access HttpContext or request resources inside an authorization handler?▼

Use the Resource parameter within your IAuthorizationHandler to access HttpContext and tailor policy evaluation to the current request, enabling context-aware authorization decisions in ASP.NET Core.

Does policy-based authorization work with both Razor Pages and API controllers?▼

Yes, policy-based authorization applies across ASP.NET Core controllers, Razor Pages, and endpoints. You enforce it consistently using the [Authorize] attribute or policy-based APIs like RequireAuthorization.

How do I register custom authorization policies in ASP.NET Core dependency injection?▼

Register custom authorization policies in ASP.NET Core by calling services.AddAuthorization in Program.cs or Startup.cs, adding your policy names, and registering the associated requirement handlers in the DI container.
