I am trying to integrate Hangfire into my ASP.NET Core Web API project for background processing. While basic setup works with memory storage, I need to configure it with SQL Server storage and restrict access to the dashboard.

Setting Up Hangfire Services

Here is my current setup in Program.cs:

// Add Hangfire services to DI container
builder.Services.AddHangfire(config => 
    config.UseSqlServerStorage(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("HangfireConnection")));

// Add the processing server
builder.Services.AddHangfireServer();

Restricting Dashboard Access

By default, the Hangfire dashboard is only accessible locally. How can I implement a custom IDashboardAuthorizationFilter to ensure only authorized admin users can view the dashboard in production?

• What is the recommended approach to extract authenticated claims inside the authorization filter?
• Are there performance implications when using SQL Server for high-frequency recurring jobs?
