Can AD Distribution Group be used for authorizing users?

Question

All the users I want to let into the admin section of my app are in a distribution group but not a security group. Can I use a distribution group in the Usre.IsInRole() method and in the Authorize(Role="Domain\\DistribGroup")] ?

Answer 1

No you can't. Distribution groups play no part in security at all. They are used solely for email distribution via Outlook or Exchange etc.

Answer 2

不，您可以使用启用电子邮件的安全组 - 这将允许控制安全访问和发送电子邮件。
