Issue with Permission: Authorize attribute not working #9610

When using [Authorize("Permission.View")] on API method, a user that has the "Permission.View" permission granted and on correct tenant, does not get Authorized and I get a 403 error. The app has a separated Auth Server, when using the [Authorize("Permission.View")] in the Auth Server module on the same user, the API returns a 200 response. I have tried restarting redis server to clear cache. Confirmed the user has the "Permission.View" permission granted on user and on the role, also that the correct tenant context is used.

I have tried removing the [Authorize("Permission.View")] from the API method and instead use the following in the method: var isGranted = await _permissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync("Permission.View");. The variable isGranted then returns true. I have gone through ABP example projects to see if there are any differences, but could not find any.

I am using ABP v9.2, .NET v9.0.302, Angular v19 and Node.js v22.17.0.

What could cause the Authorize attribute to work in Auth Server but not in other modules?

    • In ABP microservice or separated AuthServer scenarios, the [Authorize] attribute with a permission name (e.g., [Authorize("Permission.View")]) depends on correct claim propagation and permission definition registration across all relevant modules.

    • If _permissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync("Permission.View") returns true but [Authorize("Permission.View")] returns 403, the most common causes are:

      1. The permission is not defined or registered in the API module (the PermissionDefinitionProvider is missing or not referenced).
      2. Claims mapping or claim type configuration is inconsistent between AuthServer and the API module.
      3. The AbpClaimTypes are being updated by IdentityServer integration, which can break permission checks in microservices.
    • In microservice solutions, you must ensure:

      • The PermissionDefinitionProvider for "Permission.View" is referenced in the API module (typically via Application.Contracts).
      • The API module does not override or change claim types unexpectedly. If using IdentityServer, you may need to disable claim type updates in the API module:
    public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
        {
            context.Services.PreConfigure<AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions>(options =>
            {
                options.UpdateAbpClaimTypes = false;
            });
        }

    hi

    When using [Authorize("Permission.View")] on API method, a user that has the "Permission.View" permission granted and on correct tenant, does not get Authorized and I get a 403 error.

    Can you add a custom middleware and share full debug logs?

    see https://abp.io/support/questions/8622/How-to-enable-Debug-logs-for-troubleshoot-problems

    var loggerConfiguration = new LoggerConfiguration()
        .MinimumLevel.Debug()
        .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore", LogEventLevel.Warning)
        .Enrich.FromLogContext()
        .WriteTo.Async(c => c.File("Logs/logs.txt"))
    
    app.UseAuthentication();
    
    app.Use(async (httpContext, next) =>
    {
        var logger = httpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ILogger<YourModule>>();
        var claims = httpContext.User.Claims.Select(x => new { x.Type, x.Value }).ToList();
        logger.LogError("HttpContext.User Claims:");
        logger.LogError(JsonSerializer.Serialize(claims));
    
        var currentUser = httpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ICurrentUser>().GetAllClaims().Select(x => new { x.Type, x.Value }).ToList();
        logger.LogError("Current User Claims:");
        logger.LogError(JsonSerializer.Serialize(currentUser));
    
    
        var userid = AbpClaimTypes.UserId;
        var username = AbpClaimTypes.UserName;
        var roleClaimType = AbpClaimTypes.Role;
    
        logger.LogError($"UserId Claim Type: {userid}");
        logger.LogError($"UserName Claim Type: {username}");
        logger.LogError($"Role Claim Type: {roleClaimType}");
    
        var authorizationHeader = httpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
        logger.LogError(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(authorizationHeader)
            ? $"Authorization Header: {authorizationHeader}"
            : "Authorization Header is missing or empty.");
    
        await next(httpContext);
    });
