Mvc Role Manager

Demo site: http://rolemanager.neohe.com/RoleManager#/

This project provides a functionality that can authorize roles to controllers/actions dynamically via a web page.

It is using Asp.net MVC, Identity framework, OAuth security, Token/Claims based authentication/authorization, Owin, Web Api2 and Angular.js.

Asp.net mvc provides an authorization featuers based on roles/users for controllers and actions. But the roles/actions are hard coded in the code. For example:

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")] public Class MyController : Controller {

}

Only Admin role is authorized to use this controller. It's hardcoded.

The project will provide a generic function with a web page that authorize roles/uers for controllers and actions. These setinggs will be saved to database or a file.

• Front end stack

  Angular.js, bootstrap, angular ui bootstrap, angular schema form. Try to avoid jquery.

• Back end stack

  ASP.NET mvc, web api 2, entityframe work 6, identity framework

• Database

  SQL server. Mysql and more types of databases later.

What kind of projects can use it?

If you are going to create a new project, your project can use it as scaffolding and start from there. If you have an existing project, which uses ASP.NET MVC/WEB API as well as asp.net identity framework(Token/Claim based authentication), you can integrate Mvc Role Manager into your project very easily. All you have to do is:

• Add config.Filters.Add(new ApiAuthoraiztionFilter()); to App_Start\WebApiConfig.cs file to enable web api authorization;
• Add filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute()); to App_Start\FilterConfig.cs to enable MVC web page authorization;
• Copy Areas/RoleManager folder to the root of your project. MvcRoleManager resides only in this folder .
• The project will create two new tables, Action and ActionRoles. Action stores actions of controllers that need to be authorized; ActionRoles have the links between Actions and Roles.
• Configuration page locates at http://yourproject/RoleManager/ .
