Brixa.Identity.Authorization

Permission-based authorization for ASP.NET Core services.

Install

dotnet add package Brixa.Identity.Authorization

Setup

builder.Services.AddBrixaPermissionAuthorization();

Protect Endpoints

[RequirePermission("merchant.kyc.approve")]
[HttpPost("{merchantId}/approve")]
public IActionResult Approve(Guid merchantId) => Ok();

Use well-known constants for seed permissions:

[RequirePermission(WellKnownPermissions.MerchantKycApprove)]

Or use plain strings for permissions created at runtime:

[RequirePermission("custom.permission.created.via.api")]

How It Works

  1. Checks JWT claims for the required permission
  2. If not found, checks if user has the SuperAdmin role (configurable bypass)
  3. If not found and IPermissionChecker is registered, falls back to a remote check against the Identity Service
  4. Denies access if all checks fail

Configuration

SuperAdmin Bypass

The role that bypasses all permission checks defaults to "SuperAdmin". Override it:

{
  "BrixaIdentity": {
    "SuperAdminRole": "PlatformAdmin"
  }
}

Permission Caching

Enable caching to avoid repeated remote permission checks:

{
  "BrixaIdentity": {
    "EnablePermissionCaching": true,
    "PermissionCacheDurationSeconds": 300
  }
}

Remote Permission Fallback

If permissions aren't embedded in the JWT (e.g., user has 50+ permissions), the handler falls back to IPermissionChecker. This is automatically registered when you use AddBrixaIdentity().
