LightSwitch – Access Control, Visual Studio 2013

Access Control

2 access controls for LightSwitch, Authentication type and Permissions.

 

Authentication Types

There are 2 authentication types, Windows & Forms.

In this example, we use Forms authentication.

 

Permissions

Add 4 permissions for practice, CanAddCustomer, CanEditCustomer, CanViewCustomer and CanAddPhone

Granted for debug is a flag to allow developer to run/execute while programming

 

We can write code on Access Control Methods of an ApplicationData, for example, Customers.

 

Check if current user has pre-defined permission (CanAddCustomer) on customer insert action

 

It will show an Error if user does not have that permission
