By : Mustpaha AIT IGUNAOUN

Web development must prioritize security, and Angular offers powerful tools for integrating authorization and authentication systems. Knowing how to authenticate users and control their access rights is essential whether you’re developing a basic application or a sophisticated enterprise-level system. We’ll go over the basic ideas of authorization and authentication in Angular in this practical guide, along with step-by-step instructions on how to put these features into practice.

1. Being aware of authorization and authentication

Authentication: Verifying a user’s identity through credentials such as a username and password is known as authentication. Token-based authentication and OAuth are two of the authentication mechanisms that Angular supports.

Authorization: Identifying the degree of permissions or access that a user has in an application. Access to components, routes, and functionalities can be effortlessly controlled thanks to Angular’s integrated features.

2. Configuring Angular for Authentication

User Service: To handle user-related features like log-in, log-out, and user data retrieval, create a user service.
