What is the difference between authentication and authorization in the context of the [Authorize] attribute?

  • Authentication verifies the user's identity, while authorization controls what actions they are allowed to perform.
  • Authentication and authorization are the same things.
  • Authentication deals with user roles, while authorization verifies the user's identity.
  • Authorization only checks if the user is logged in.
In the context of the [Authorize] attribute, authentication is the process of verifying the user's identity (usually through login) and determining who they are. Authorization, on the other hand, decides what actions or resources the authenticated user is allowed to access.
