Hi,

For ex:
I have three pages named LOGIN,HOME,DETAILS.

suppose that, we can access home, Details pages if we are authorized only.

To provide authorization we are using a login page.

Now, I want to provide authorization using [Authorize] filter defined in Filter.config file.

then Authorization is applied to all pages(login also). Hence we cannot access login page also.

To allow login page access initially, we have to provide [AllowAnonymous] to login page.

Now, login page will open initially, after authorization, we can access remaining two pages

Please mark as answer , if you satisified.

Thank you,
Govind

[AllowAnonymous] - Any one can access view related to the action in controller
[Authorize] - Only registered users or specific set of users can access view related to the action in controller
You can also specify list of users in the attribute to grant access to them
