I've created the following attribute:
[Serializable]
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = true)]
public class OperationPermissionAttribute : CodeAccessSecurityAttribute
{
private static PrincipalPermission _revoke = new PrincipalPermission(PermissionState.None);
private static PrincipalPermission _allow = new PrincipalPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);
private string _role;
private string _task;
private string _operation;
public OperationPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction action, string role, string task, string operation) : base(action)
{
_role = role;
_task = task;
_operation = operation;
}
public OperationPermissionAttribute(string role, string task, string operation)
: base(SecurityAction.Demand)
{
_role = role;
_task = task;
_operation = operation;
}
public override System.Security.IPermission CreatePermission()
{
var principal = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as AzManPrincipal;
if (principal == null)
return _revoke;
bool result = principal.IsOperationAllowed(_role, _task, _operation);
return result ? _allow : _revoke;
}
}
which I use like this:
[OperationPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Roles.Administrator, "UserService", "Remove")]
public void Add(User user)
{
user.ValidateOrThrow();
_repository.Add(user);
}
Running the code gives me the following error:
Missing a required constructor. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013143B), its a COMException.
why on earth do I get it and what does it really mean?
The problem lies in your constructor definitions. You need to replace your two existing constructors by a single constructor that takes only a SecurityAction argument. (See the "Notes to Inheritors" section at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.permissions.codeaccesssecurityattribute.aspx.) The reason for this lies in the deserialization mechanism used for permission attributes.
I would either change the constructor parameter type for role
from String
to Roles
(in which case you would need to change a few other things as well)
public OperationPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction action, Roles role, ...
or do ToString()
on the constructor call:
[OperationPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Roles.Administrator.ToString(), "UserService", "Remove")]
I'd personally prefer the first option.
