Run the application with the following command: dotnet run --urls=http://localhost:5266/ in the WebAPI directory.

Once the application is running, you can access the Swagger UI by navigating to http://localhost:5266/swagger/index.html.

The database is seeded with four users:

• Username: editor, Password: editor - with the Role: Editor
• Username: writer, Password: writer - with the Role: Writer
• Username: writer2, Password: writer2 - with the Role: Writer
• Username: user, Password: user - with the Role: User

The application uses json web tokens for authorization. Once logging in through the /api/User/Login endpoint, you will receive a token that you can use to authenticate yourself in the Swagger UI by clicking the Authorize button and pasting the token.

the comment and article controllers are protected by the Authorize attribute, so you will need to be authenticated to access them, some methods are allowed to be accessed anonymously, needing no authentication.
