authorization

I need my users are redirected to AuthError.aspx page ("You don't have the access to this page") in the case when they are authenticated but try to access the page that they cannot access (because of the role for exam). If I set up web.config so: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" /> </authentication> this is the system's wrong behaviour because an user is already authenticated and there is no need to redirect him or her to this page. But if I write here AuthError.aspx instead Login.aspx how could I redirect not-yet-authenticated user to the

I am writing a rails application for an organization. Every user may have 1 or more roles and can only access certain controller actions depending on those roles. For example, only admins can create, destroy and update certain fields of User s. Also, there are Team s which each have a team leader , and only the team leader can update certain information about the Team (like the member list, for example). However, Admins are the one who assign the team leader in the first place. The specific details of my scenario are not important, I merely hope I described the situation where there are many

I implemented a token authorization system on ASP.NET Web API with OWIN middleware. I successfully can authenticate with a REST client and obtain an authorization token to call the API. If I put the [Authorize] attribute on a GET action in my controller it also works correctly. If I don't have a valid token it denies the resource with a 401 message, but if I use [Authorize(Roles="admins")] with the roles parameter, it doesn't recognize the user's roles. I verified things in the database and checked that usersinroles is correctly filled. This is a code snippet: [Authorize(Roles = "admins")]

This is a perennial question for me that I've never really resolved so I'd like your input. If I have actions that I know a user will not be able to perform due to insufficient privileges or object state, should the UI elements for those actions be hidden from the user, visible but disabled, or visible and result in an error if attempted? What would be the rationale for your answer? If disabled, would you communicate the reason why and, if so, how? This is a web interface so I already know that I need to check the incoming post/get for permissions and handle errors there anyway. I'm primarily

I have an MVC website in which access is based on various Roles. Once a user logs into the system they can see navigation to the pages for which they are authorized. However, some users may still try to access pages using a direct URL. If they do, the system automatically redirects them to the Login Page. Instead of the Login Page I want to redirect them to another view (Unauthorized). Web.Config has the following entry: <customErrors mode="On"> <error statusCode="401" redirect="~/Home/Unauthorized" /> <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Home/PageNotFound" /> </customErrors> <authentication

This question already has an answer here: IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity 8 answers When I try to access my ASP.NET MVC application I get the error: Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\bin\test.Platform.Config.xml' is denied I run IIS 7.5 with an application pool that has the property: Identity: ApplicationPoolIdentity I imagine it is because the 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' cannot read the file I try to access. So my question is: Since the 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' is not a system user, which user or group do I need to grant further access in order to allow the
