Authorize Attribute with Multiple Roles

Question

I would like to add Authorization to a controller, for multiple Roles at once.

Normally that would look like this:

[Authorize(Roles = \"RoleA,RoleB,R         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you are deriving your custom attribute class off System.Web.Mvc.AuthorizeAttribute and NOT System.Web.Http.AuthorizeAttribute.

I ran into the same problem. Once I changed it, everything worked.

You may also want to add the following to your custom attribute class:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = true)]
