Can anyone help me to Add [AllowAnonymous] for All Controllers in WEB API without using any filter or manually add [AllowAnonymous] attribute for each controller or action method?

Is there any Global way to archive this requirement in web API?

Thank you.

Hi Nikunj,

You can give try with this web config one time and check.
"api">


        "?" />

Remove the global Authorization and use Authorize attribute to only that particular method which you really want to authenticate.
Thus, all other methods will automatically be able for anonymous users.

Authorize attribute you can add globally but AllowAnonymous you need to apply in controller or action method. Thanks.

Hi Nikunj,

Here some kind of security for the APIs.

If you use [Authorize] in each and every controller you have to apply [AllowAnonymous] to each and every methods of perticular controller.

When you remove [Authorize] from controllers, you need not add [AllowAnonymous] to methods of controller. But there is no any globlly declaration for [AllowAnonymous] in API.
