Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AuthorizationRule.

Note

If you use the credentials section, be sure to follow the guidelines explained at ASP.NET Authentication. For scalability and better security capability, it is recommended that you use an external database to store users' credentials. For more information about building secure ASP.NET applications, see Securing Your ASP.NET Application and Building Secure ASP.NET Applications: Authentication, Authorization, and Secure Communication.

// Create an authorization rule object.
AuthorizationRuleAction action =
    AuthorizationRuleAction.Deny;
AuthorizationRule authorizationRule = 
    new System.Web.Configuration.AuthorizationRule(action);

' Create an authorization rule object.
  Dim action As AuthorizationRuleAction = _
  AuthorizationRuleAction.Deny
  Dim authorizationRule = _
  New System.Web.Configuration.AuthorizationRule(action)

 // Using the AuthorizationRuleCollection Add method.

 // Set the action property.
 authorizationRule.Action = 
    AuthorizationRuleAction.Allow;
 // Define the new rule to add to the collection.
 authorizationRule.Users.Add("userName");
 authorizationRule.Roles.Add("admin");
 authorizationRule.Verbs.Add("POST");

 // Add the new rule to the collection.
 authorizationSection.Rules.Add(authorizationRule);

' Using the AuthorizationRuleCollection Add method.
' Set the action property.
  authorizationRule.Action = _
  AuthorizationRuleAction.Allow
' Define the new rule to add to the collection.
authorizationRule.Users.Add("userName")
authorizationRule.Roles.Add("admin")
authorizationRule.Verbs.Add("POST")

' Add the new rule to the collection.
authorizationSection.Rules.Add(authorizationRule)

Remarks

The AuthorizationRule class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the authorization section of a configuration file.

This type is part of a group that includes the AuthorizationSection, the AuthorizationRuleCollection, and the AuthorizationRuleAction types.

Note

The AuthorizationSection can update the configuration information at any level in the configuration hierarchy.

Constructors

AuthorizationRule(AuthorizationRuleAction)

Creates a new instance of the AuthorizationRule class using the passed object.

Properties

Action	Gets or sets the AuthorizationRule action.
CurrentConfiguration	Gets a reference to the top-level Configuration instance that represents the configuration hierarchy that the current ConfigurationElement instance belongs to. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ElementInformation	Gets an ElementInformation object that contains the non-customizable information and functionality of the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ElementProperty	Gets the ConfigurationElementProperty object that represents the ConfigurationElement object itself. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
EvaluationContext	Gets the ContextInformation object for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
HasContext	Gets a value that indicates whether the CurrentConfiguration property is `null`. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Item[ConfigurationProperty]	Gets or sets a property or attribute of this configuration element. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Item[String]	Gets or sets a property, attribute, or child element of this configuration element. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAllAttributesExcept	Gets the collection of locked attributes. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAllElementsExcept	Gets the collection of locked elements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAttributes	Gets the collection of locked attributes. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockElements	Gets the collection of locked elements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockItem	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is locked. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Properties	Gets the collection of properties. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Roles	Gets the roles associated with the resource.
Users	Gets the users associated with the resource.
Verbs	Gets the verbs associated with the resource.

Methods

DeserializeElement(XmlReader, Boolean)	Reads XML from the configuration file. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for this object.
GetTransformedAssemblyString(String)	Returns the transformed version of the specified assembly name. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetTransformedTypeString(String)	Returns the transformed version of the specified type name. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
Init()	Sets the ConfigurationElement object to its initial state. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
InitializeDefault()	Used to initialize a default set of values for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
IsModified()	Indicates whether this configuration element has been modified since it was last saved or loaded, when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
IsReadOnly()	Gets a value indicating whether the ConfigurationElement object is read-only. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ListErrors(IList)	Adds the invalid-property errors in this ConfigurationElement object, and in all subelements, to the passed list. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnDeserializeUnrecognizedAttribute(String, String)	Gets a value indicating whether an unknown attribute is encountered during deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
OnDeserializeUnrecognizedElement(String, XmlReader)	Gets a value indicating whether an unknown element is encountered during deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
OnRequiredPropertyNotFound(String)	Throws an exception when a required property is not found. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
PostDeserialize()	Called after deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
PreSerialize(XmlWriter)	Called before serialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Reset(ConfigurationElement)	Resets the internal state of the ConfigurationElement object, including the locks and the properties collections. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ResetModified()	Resets the value of the IsModified() method to `false` when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SerializeElement(XmlWriter, Boolean)	Writes the contents of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SerializeToXmlElement(XmlWriter, String)	Writes the outer tags of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SetPropertyValue(ConfigurationProperty, Object, Boolean)	Sets a property to the specified value. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SetReadOnly()	Sets the IsReadOnly() property for the ConfigurationElement object and all subelements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
