Securing Controller/Action

Using VGAuthorize attribute

Note
While mentioning the permission in the ‘VGAuthorize’ attribute, please take the full name of the permission (along with full path). Example: “ReadOnly” permission exist in folder “Auditors”, hence, full name of the permission is : “/Auditors/ReadOnly”

 [VGAuthorize(Roles = "Admin")]
 public class ProductionController : ApiController
 {
     Product[] products = new Product[]
     {
     new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Tomato Soup", Category = "Groceries", Price = 1 },
     new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Yo-yo", Category = "Toys", Price = 3.75M },
     new Product { Id = 3, Name = "Hammer", Category = "Hardware", Price = 16.99M }
     };

     [VGAuthorize(Permissions = "CanGetAllRoles", Roles = "RoleManager")]
     public IEnumerable<Product> GetAllProducts()
     {
         return products;
     }

     [VGAuthorize(Permissions = "ReadOnly")]
     [VGAuthorize(Permissions = "CanGetById")]
     public Product GetProductById(int id)
     {
         var product = products.FirstOrDefault((p) => p.Id == id);
         if (product == null)
         {
             throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
         }
         return product;
     }
}
