Original announcement aspnet/Announcements#386

Breaking change in AddAuthorization(o =>) overload lives in a different assembly

We renamed the core AddAuthorization methods that used to live in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization to be AddAuthorizationCore, the old AddAuthorization methods still exist, but are in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization.Policy package instead. Apps that are using both should see no impact, but apps that were not using the policy package will need to switch to using AddAuthorizationCore

Version introduced

3.0

Old behavior

AddAuthorization methods existed in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization

New behavior

AddAuthorization methods exist in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization.Policy, AddAuthorizationCore is the new name for the old methods

Reason for change

We wanted the better AddAuthorization name to add all of the common services needed for authorization, so we decided to take over the old name in 3.0..

Recommended action

Either add a reference to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization.Policy or use AddAuthorizationCore instead

Category

ASP.NET Core

Affected APIs

AddAuthorization(Action<AuthorizationOptions>)
