I wish to lock out access to a user's EDIT page (eg. /user/pure.krome/edit) if
a) Identity.IsAuthenticated = false
or they are authenticated but
b) Idenitity.Name != user name of the user page they are trying to edit
c) Identity.UserType() != UserType.Administrator // This is like a Role, without using RoleProviders.
I'm assuming u can decorate a controller or a controller's action method with something(s), but i'm just not sure what?
Look at the AuthorizeAttribute
.
ASP.Net MVC: Can the AuthorizeAttribute be overriden?
A custom attribute derived from AuthorizeAttribute is what I use to do this. Override the OnAuthorize method and implement your own logic.
public class OnlyUserAuthorizedAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute
{
public override void OnAuthorize( AuthorizationContext filterContext )
{
if (!filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
filterContext.Result = new HttpUnauthorizeResult();
}
...
}
}
I implemented the following ActionFilterAttribute and it works to handle both authentication and roles. I am storing roles in my own DB tables like this:
- User
- UserRole (contains UserID and RoleID foreign keys)
- Role
public class CheckRoleAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public string[] AllowedRoles { get; set; }
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
string userName = filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
if (filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
if (AllowedRoles.Count() > 0)
{
IUserRepository userRepository = new UserRepository();
User user = userRepository.GetUser(userName);
bool userAuthorized = false;
foreach (Role userRole in user.Roles)
{
userAuthorized = false;
foreach (string allowedRole in AllowedRoles)
{
if (userRole.Name == allowedRole)
{
userAuthorized = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (userAuthorized == false)
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect("/Account/AccessViolation", true);
}
}
else
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect("/Account/AccessViolation", true);
}
}
else
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl + String.Format("?ReturnUrl={0}", filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsolutePath), true);
}
}
I call this like this...
[CheckRole(AllowedRoles = new string[] { "admin" })]
public ActionResult Delete(int id)
{
//delete logic here
}
