Using Claims?

Short answer: Claims are user attributes (e.g., email, role, permissions). Add claims when creating identity: var claims = new List<Claim> { new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.UserName), new Claim("Permission", "Edit") }; Access in code: var claim = User.FindFirst("Permission")?.Value;

2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
