Examples

The following example shows an implementation of the AuthorizationAttribute that uses an AuthorizationContext value to customize authentication.

Public Class CheckAttendeeNameAttribute
    Inherits System.Web.DomainServices.AuthorizationAttribute


    Public Overrides Function Authorize(ByVal principal As System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal) As Boolean
        If (principal.IsInRole("Attendee") And principal.Identity.Name.StartsWith("A")) Then
            Return True
        Else
            Return False
        End If
    End Function
End Class
Public Class RestrictAccessToAssignedManagers
    Inherits AuthorizationAttribute

    Protected Overrides Function IsAuthorized(ByVal principal As System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal, ByVal authorizationContext As System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.AuthorizationContext) As System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.AuthorizationResult
        Dim eph As EmployeePayHistory
        Dim selectedEmployee As Employee
        Dim authenticatedUser As Employee

        eph = CType(authorizationContext.Instance, EmployeePayHistory)

        Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
            selectedEmployee = context.Employees.SingleOrDefault(Function(e) e.EmployeeID = eph.EmployeeID)
            authenticatedUser = context.Employees.SingleOrDefault(Function(e) e.LoginID = principal.Identity.Name)
        End Using

        If (selectedEmployee.ManagerID = authenticatedUser.EmployeeID) Then
            Return AuthorizationResult.Allowed
        Else
            Return New AuthorizationResult("Only the authenticated manager for the employee can add a new record.")
        End If
    End Function
End Class
public class CheckAttendeeNameAttribute : System.Web.DomainServices.AuthorizationAttribute

    {
        if (principal.IsInRole("Attendee") && principal.Identity.Name.StartsWith("A"))
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}
public class RestrictAccessToAssignedManagers : AuthorizationAttribute
{
    protected override AuthorizationResult IsAuthorized(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principal, AuthorizationContext authorizationContext)
    {
        EmployeePayHistory eph = (EmployeePayHistory)authorizationContext.Instance;
        Employee selectedEmployee;
        Employee authenticatedUser;

        using (AdventureWorksEntities context = new AdventureWorksEntities())
        {
            selectedEmployee = context.Employees.SingleOrDefault(e => e.EmployeeID == eph.EmployeeID);
            authenticatedUser = context.Employees.SingleOrDefault(e => e.LoginID == principal.Identity.Name);
        }

        if (selectedEmployee.ManagerID == authenticatedUser.EmployeeID)
        {
            return AuthorizationResult.Allowed;
        }
        else
        {
            return new AuthorizationResult("Only the authenticated manager for the employee can add a new record.");
        }
    }
}
