Dear Naufal07,

On the top of your controller's method you just typed:

C#

[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")] or [Authorize]

if that controller's method used by Administrator.

or

C#

[Authorize]

on the top of your controller just before

public class <controller name=""></controller>

your all method of controller become secure.

Thank You,
Manoj Kalla
