Understanding AllowAnonymous Attribute in Asp.net Core In Asp.net Core, the AllowAnonymous attribute is used to specify that an action or a controller should be accessible to all users, regardless of whether they are authenticated or not. This attribute allows unauthenticated users to access specific resources without the need for authentication.

    [AllowAnonymous]
    public class PublicController : Controller
    {
        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        [AllowAnonymous]
        public IActionResult PublicAction()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public IActionResult SecureAction()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }


In the above example, the PublicController has three action methods: Index, PublicAction, and SecureAction. By applying the AllowAnonymous attribute to the PublicAction method, you explicitly allow unauthenticated users to access this particular action. On the other hand, the SecureAction method does not have the AllowAnonymous attribute, meaning it requires authentication to access.

By using the AllowAnonymous attribute, you can control the accessibility of your controller actions based on the authentication status of the users. This attribute provides flexibility in defining access permissions within your Asp.net Core application.
