ASP.NET Core Identity Role-Based Authorization optimization guide for Nested Permissions
I need some guidance on Could someone explain I'm migrating some code and I've encountered a strange issue with I'm working on an ASP.NET Core 6 application using Identity for user management and role-based authorization... I've set up roles with specific permissions, but I'm working with an scenario where users assigned to a nested role don't seem to inherit the permissions as expected. For instance, I have a `Manager` role that should inherit permissions from a `User` role. I've configured this in my `Startup.cs` in the `ConfigureServices` method: ```csharp services.AddAuthorization(options => { options.AddPolicy("ManagerPolicy", policy => policy.RequireRole("Manager").RequireRole("User")); }); ``` However, when I test with a user that only has the `Manager` role, they need to access a resource that is permitted for `User`. I have the following controller action: ```csharp [Authorize(Policy = "ManagerPolicy")] public IActionResult ManagerDashboard() { return View(); } ``` I've tried debugging by checking the claims for the user, and it seems that even though the user is in the `Manager` role, the `User` role claims aren’t included. Here’s how I'm creating the roles and assigning them: ```csharp var userRole = new IdentityRole("User"); var managerRole = new IdentityRole("Manager"); await roleManager.CreateAsync(userRole); await roleManager.CreateAsync(managerRole); var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = "testuser", Email = "test@example.com" }; await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "Password123!"); await userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "Manager"); ``` I've also looked into using policy requirements for more granularity, but that seems overkill for my scenario. I've checked the claims in the JWT token, and it only lists `role: Manager`. Am I missing something in my role inheritance setup, or is there a different approach I should take to ensure inherited permissions work as expected in ASP.NET Core Identity? Is this even possible? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Any ideas what could be causing this? This issue appeared after updating to C# 3.11. Any examples would be super helpful.
