C# Identity Authorize attribute region

Question

Today, I was owndering if I could use the [Authorize] attribute with regions in C#

I never found a satisfying answer, but I think I found an answer

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
#region testRegion

// GET: /Home/Index
public virtual ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

#endregion

With this code, only users with the "Admin" role can see this page

The question doesn't make sense. Regions are just editor tools, nothing else. If you want to restrict access to a page, just put the attribute on the controller or specific action method.. — Jeroen Vannevel, May 20 '17 at 11:00

No, you can't.

Regions are only for human readability and the're ignored by the compiler.

In your example, the attribute is being applied to the Index() method
