如何基于用户/凭据在Web API中动态显示控制器

Question

I have a web api with four controllers.From the four controllers,i need to give a user access to only that one controller but ensure other users are able to access the remaining controllers.

I have used [ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)] attribute but wanted to have a better way to manage the controllers dynamically.The web api is accessed by two different users and i want one of the users to access only a certain controller only.Any idea how to do this?

You can specify users and roles in the Authorize attribute on your controllers and actions. For example:

// Restrict by user:
[Authorize(Users="Alice,Bob")]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
}

// Restrict by role:
[Authorize(Roles="Administrators")]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
}

These can be places at the class level or at the action method level.
