ASP.NET Core Authorization Documentation

What is Authorization?

Authorization defines *who* can access *what* within your application. It ensures users and roles are authenticated and authorized to perform specific actions.

This documentation covers the ASP.NET Core Authorization framework.

Section 1: User Roles

Different user roles (e.g., Admin, User) have different permissions.

Each role is defined within your application's user model.

Section 2: Permissions

Each role is assigned specific permissions.

Permissions are usually defined using roles and custom permissions.

Section 3: Authorization Flow

The flow involves user authentication, authorization, and role assignment.

Section 4: Example

Consider a simple user role system:

User - Admin

User - User

Section 5: Security Considerations

Always adhere to the principle of least privilege. Grant users only the permissions they absolutely need.
