Enabling Authorization and Creating Permissions in LightSwitch
For the latest documentation on Visual Studio 2017, see Visual Studio 2017 Documentation.
You can use the authorization and authentication features in LightSwitch to control access to screens and data. For example, you could create a permission to view a payroll screen, and the application administrator can grant or deny that permission to individuals or to groups of users defined as roles.
In this set of lessons you will learn how to enable authentication and create permissions.
