This article describes ASP.NET Core's support for the configuration and management of security in Blazor apps.

Security scenarios differ between server-side and client-side Blazor apps. Because a server-side app runs on the server, authorization checks are able to determine:

* The UI options presented to a user (for example, which menu entries are available to a user).
* Access rules for areas of the app and components.

For a client-side app, authorization is *only* used to determine which UI options to show. Since client-side checks can be modified or bypassed by a user, a client-side app can't enforce authorization access rules.
Security scenarios differ between authorization code running server-side and client-side in Blazor apps. For authorization code that runs on the server, authorization checks are able to enforce access rules for areas of the app and components. Because client-side code execution can be tampered with, authorization code executing on the client can't be trusted to absolutely enforce access rules or control the display of client-side content.

If authorization rule enforcement must be guaranteed, don't implement authorization checks in client-side code. Build a Blazor Web App that only relies on server-side rendering (SSR) for authorization checks and rule enforcement.

[Razor Pages authorization conventions](xref:security/authorization/razor-pages-authorization) don't apply to routable Razor components. If a non-routable Razor component is [embedded in a page of a Razor Pages app](xref:blazor/components/integration), the page's authorization conventions indirectly affect the Razor component along with the rest of the page's content.

If authorization rule enforcement and the security of data and code must be guaranteed, don't develop a client-side app. Build a Blazor Server app.
