SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust framework for implementing fine-grained permission-based authorization in .NET applications, moving beyond simple role-based access control to offer more granular security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom Attributes: Use [HasPermission] attributes to declaratively define required permissions on controllers and actions.
  • Dynamic Policy Creation: Automatically generates authorization policies based on permission names, simplifying configuration.
  • Claims Transformation: Converts existing role claims into permission claims, ensuring a unified authorization model.
  • Use Case: Secure an API endpoint that allows users to update organization settings, ensuring only users with the specific organizations:manage_settings permission can access it.

Quick Start

Integrate the permission authorization services into your .NET application's startup configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement permission-based authorization in an ASP.NET Core API?

Permission-based authorization in ASP.NET Core is implemented by applying custom `[HasPermission]` attributes to controllers. The system automatically generates dynamic policies and transforms role claims into granular permission claims for validation.

What is the difference between role-based and permission-based access control in .NET?

Permission-based access control in .NET maps roles to specific granular permissions rather than relying on broad role checks. The system manages fine-grained access by validating specific permissions against user claims via custom policy providers.

Does this permission authorization system support .NET 8?

Yes, the permission authorization system supports .NET 8 and integrates directly with ASP.NET Core's built-in authorization infrastructure. It requires no external dependencies to map roles to granular permissions and validate claims.

How do I secure an endpoint so only users with specific permissions can access it?

To secure an endpoint with specific permissions, you declaratively apply the `[HasPermission]` custom attribute to controllers or actions. The framework dynamically creates an authorization policy to validate user claims against the required permission name.

Can I convert existing role claims into permission claims in .NET?

Yes, you can convert role claims into permission claims using claims transformation. This ensures a unified authorization model by mapping existing user roles to granular permissions before validating access control.

Do I need to manually configure authorization policies for each permission in ASP.NET Core?

No, you do not need to manually configure authorization policies for each permission. The system automatically generates dynamic authorization policies based on permission names, simplifying configuration across your .NET application.
