What is Authorization and Authentication?

Research on your own to answer the following questions:

• What are the differences between authentication and authorization?
• What are roles? And, how are ‘roles’ used in authorization?

Brainstorm

You are tasked with designing authentication and authorization for a Library application build in ASP.NET Core MVC. How would you use the tools that we have learned so far to accomplish:

• Librarians should be able to add books.
• Librarians should be able to check out books.
• Users with a library card should be able to check out books.
• Users should be able to see all books that are available to check out.

Review Inheritance

We are going to be using Inheritance for the next few lessons - take a few minutes to refresh your knowledge of inheritance by reviewing the lesson, and doing additional research!
