I have a WPF application with a WCF service layer and a SQL database. I now want to restrict elements of the application so that certain functions are only available to those users with a particular role. For example, you will only be able to navigate to the settings screen if you are an administrator.
I would like a user to be a member of 1 or more authorisation groups and each authorisation group to have 1 or more roles associated.
A long time ago I used AzMan (Authorisation Manager) to do a similar thing. Does anyone think that there are better approaches? Is AzMan "old news"? Alternatives?
Thanks.
I don't think azman is old news, we are still using it....
Authorization and Entitlement solution on .Net like earlier in AzMan
Azman will do what you are asking....
