I have this web api controller:

[Authorize(Users = "ABC")]
public IHttpActionResult GetCCUserPermission(string ccUserGuid, string ccInstance)
{
//codes
}

How can I call this API controller from Postman?

What I have tried:

I am able to call this if I don't write Authorize filter.

You need to pass the credentials for the users, so that the authorize filter can work. In postman you can add a header for the authentication or pass the credentials.

This depends on the design of the API, perhaps API can accept the information with which it can authorize the user to make a request.
