What are authorization attributes in ASP.NET MVC?

Authorization attributes in ASP.NET MVC are used to control access to controllers and actions based on user roles or policies.

Can you give me an example of how to use the [Authorize] attribute?

Sure! You can use the [Authorize] attribute above a controller or action method to restrict access. For example:

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
public ActionResult AdminOnly() {
    return View();
}

What happens if a user who is not authorized tries to access a restricted action?

If a user who is not authorized tries to access a restricted action, they will be redirected to the login page or receive a 403 Forbidden response, depending on the configuration.

Are there any other attributes I can use for authorization?

Yes, besides [Authorize], you can use [AllowAnonymous] to allow access to specific actions without authentication.
