This is a complicated question and there isn't a right answer but there are several ways to do it.
First I will assume you are using stateless auth using a claim based jwt the simplest way is writing your own Policy that will read user roles before every request, this is the simplest way to do it and fastest to implement.
internal class DatabaseRoles : IAuthorizationRequirement
{
public string Role { get; }
public DatabaseRoles(string role)
{
Role = role;
}
}
internal class DatabaseRolesHandler : AuthorizationHandler<DatabaseRoles>
{
private readonly UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager;
public DatabaseRolesHandler(UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager, RoleManager<IdentityRole> roleManager)
{
this.userManager = userManager;
}
protected override async Task HandleRequirementAsync(AuthorizationHandlerContext context, DatabaseRoles requirement)
{
//NOTE this is the out of the box implementation of roles and simple query to get the roles from the EF backed database. I would recoment makeing a custom privelages store for this and not using roles for this but access rights
var user = await userManager.FindByIdAsync(userManager.GetUserId(context.User));
if (await userManager.IsInRoleAsync(user, requirement.Role))
{
context.Succeed(requirement);
}
}
}
But this solution is not that performant because it requires a call to the database on every request. This is fine on small loads but might create problems in traffic.
The other way is to reevoke the all user tokens when the roles change but this is super complicated. I am sure if you create some fast access store for roles like redis there will be no issues to do the check on every call. Also I do not recommend creating your own user storage because it's a nightmare to maintain and keep up to date in regards to security standards.
Authorize(Roles ="Staff")makes sure that user with roleStaffonly can access this action... So if user is removed from this role, user will not be able to access this.. Is this not happening?Create Employee,View Employeeand @Emad Yes I need changes at time of login if there are any changes during live session then there is no affect in a role. Is it possible?
