SportsStore: Administration

Abstract

In this final chapter on building the SportsStore application, we will give the site administrator a way of managing the product catalog. We will add support for creating, editing, and removing items from the product repository, as well as for uploading and displaying images alongside products in the catalog. And, since these are administrative functions, we’ll show you how to use authentication and filters to secure access to controllers and action methods, and to prompt users for credentials when needed.
