ASP .NET 5 MVC 6 Identity 3 Roles Claims Groups [closed]

Answer 1

This thread helped me get something working, but it's sad that this is not better documented.

Here are my attempts at improving that. Asp.net.Identity (3.0.0.0-rc1-final)

in Startup.cs --> ConfigurationServices

        //Define your policies here, they are strings associated with claims types, that have claim strings... 
        //they need to be in AspNetUserClaims table, user id, department, Dev to be allowed access to the Dev policy
        //add the auth option, below that makes it work, and in the api controller, add the        
        //[Authorize("Dev")] attribute
        services.AddAuthorization(
            options =>
            {
                options.AddPolicy("Dev", policy => { policy.RequireClaim("department", "Dev"); });
            });
        services.AddMvc();
