How to create Custom Authorization attribute?

Question

I am trying to implement a custom authorize attribute on my mvc4 app with parameters.

What I am trying to achieve is this:

[Authorize(Application == "Initialize,Start,..." , Topic == "foo1,foo2,foo3...")]
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
   //rest
}

The attribute should also be able to decorate the controller, not only methods

Answer 1

Your custom authorization attribute :

public class UberAuthorizeAttr : System.Web.DomainServices.AuthorizationAttribute
{
    public string Application {get;set;}
    public string Topic {get;set;}

    public override bool Authorize(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principal)
    {
        // your custom behaviour
    }
}

Your controller:

[UberAuthorizeAttr(Application = "Initialize,Start,..." , Topic = "foo1,foo2,foo3...")]
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
   //rest
}

Is that what you are looking for?
