Adding an API to IdentityServer4

I have an API and client that I created using the quickstart for Identity Server and it's working. In the config file I have the API called api1 that I have set as the allowed scope for a user I created called Admin. In turn this allows me to call the controller in the API project called IdentityController. This returns some data about the claims. Works great. I added a new controller called MsgController with authorize, and it to can be called without a problem. However I need some guidance on the following:

  1. I want to give a new user the allowed scope of api2 and then only allow that scope to call MsgController
  2. How do I prevent the allowed scope "api1" from being used in MsgController, and prevent "api2" (the new scope I want to create) from using the IdentityController.

Ideally I need to create a test with two logins and show that they cannot access the other controller based on their scope. I thought that the name of the scope would correlate with the name of the controller, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I think this is my lack of understanding on how to apply scopes to api's.

Thanks.

You simply need to restrict the controllers using policies.

in your startup.cs ConfigureService() add the following extension

services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    //policy1
    options.AddPolicy("api1Policy", builder =>
    {
        builder.RequireClaim("scope", "api1");
    });

    //policy2
    options.AddPolicy("api2Policy", builder =>
    {
        builder.RequireClaim("scope", "api2");
    });
});

For more complex policy validations you can use, builder.RequireAssertion();

In your controllers add the annotation like this.

[Authorize(Policy = "api2Policy")]
public class MsgController: Controller
{
   //Users with api2 scope will be allowed in here. Likewise, do the same for others.
}
