Learn how to add real Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to your ASP.NET Core applications using Identity.

In this video, I’ll show you how to go beyond simple roles and build permissions-based authorization with ASP.NET Core Identity and JWT tokens — no extra tables or libraries required.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Define permissions and map them to roles
✅ Seed roles and permission claims
✅ Include permissions inside JWT tokens
✅ Implement a custom authorization handler
✅ Secure endpoints with permission-based policies
✅ Return proper 403 Forbidden responses

By the end, you’ll have a clean, extensible RBAC implementation ready for any ASP.NET Core API.
