Admin Controllers

Admin controllers are applicable only for the administration panel. They are separated into two main types:

Entity related

These controllers are used for CRUD operations and have following structure:

[Area("Admin")]
[Route("admin/example-entities/")]
[ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]
[ValidateAdminCookie]
[Authorize(Policy = ApplicationPermissions.AccessAdministrationPolicy)]
public class AdminExampleEntitiesController : AbstractEntityController<ExampleEntity, ExampleEntityDto>
{
    public AdminExampleEntitiesController(IEntityManager entityManager) : base(entityManager)
    {
    }
}

The attributes of the controller has following functions:

• Area - Define administration area
• Route - Define route to the controller
• ApiExplorerSettings - Remove controller from Swagger
• ValidateAdminCookie - Protects the controller by the third factor authentication
• Authorize - Protects the controller by policy authorization

The inheritance of AbstractEntityController and the features provided by the base controller are explained in details in Application Features Guide - CRUD Pages.

Independent

These controllers are used for any reason and have no specific difference than Public Controllers. The only requirement for these controllers are the attributes which must be the same as the Entity related admin controllers.
