    Changing the Error when using MemberAuthorize

    Hi,

    I have an Umbraco 7 site that makes heavy use of custom API endpoints, some of these are protected to only allow members through.

    I've hit a slight problem when this happens as we display the error that gets returned, Authorization denied for this request.

    Obviously this isn't very user-friendly so I was wondering if there is a way to change or server a different message. For example, if the member hits the endpoint while logged out, it returns a more friendly message of You have been logged out, please log back in and try again, or similar.

    An example of how my method is set up:

    [HttpPost]
    [AcceptVerbs("POST")]
    [Umbraco.Web.WebApi.MemberAuthorize(AllowType = "member")]
    public HttpResponseMessage Add(AddCommentSubmission submission) {}
    

    If this isn't possible using the middleware, my next option would be to catch the forbidden request in JavaScript but I'd like to keep all errors returning as-is from the api.

    Thanks,

    Ben
