I'm trying to create an MVC5 application that uses Windows Authentication but uses roles pulled from a User model. I've searched high and low for an example, but the only ones I can find are based on the old ASP.NET identity framework. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?! Thanks! So I've figured out one approach to solving this problem. I created a custom Authorization Attribute that checks the User model for a role. using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using App.Models; using System.Security.Claims; namespace App.Extensions.Attributes { public class
