How can I implement role-based authorization in ASP.NET MVC?

To implement role-based authorization in ASP.NET MVC, you can use the built-in authorization filters. First, define roles in your application, then use the [Authorize] attribute on your controllers or actions to restrict access based on roles.

Can you show me an example of how to define roles?

Sure! You can define roles in your database or in-memory. For example, you might have roles like 'Admin', 'User', and 'Manager'. You can create a Role class and a User class that references these roles.

How do I assign roles to users?

You can assign roles to users by creating a relationship in your database. For instance, you can have a UserRoles table that links user IDs to role IDs.

What if I want to restrict access to specific actions?

You can apply the [Authorize] attribute directly to specific actions in your controller. For example, [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")] will restrict access to that action only to users in the Admin role.
