Visual Studio Authentication

I need to come back and flesh this out, step by step. But it's really exciting. I also had a major breakthrough with authentication, and I think I FINALLY have a grasp on it:

• Use Microsoft Identity Platform to sign in users.
  
• Use "AllowAnonymous" and "Authorize" attributes to control what anonymous users can see/activate.
  
• Use an App Registration for MIP that has the URLs for authenticating. This should NOT grant permissions, I need to strip away all permissions and see if it still works.
• Use the Managed Identity created for each App Service and grant it Contributor access to the Azure Storage tables & Blobs.
• The next step is to give the Managed Identity read access, and then grant permissions to individual users and groups, and see if they have the proper permissions.

This is really exciting, I made a number of breakthroughs today.
