Removing Authentication Filters in ASP.NET Web API 2

Question

I have a WebAPI project currently that implements the [Authorize] on all methods globally by adding the following code in my Startup.cs. This is a great

config.Filters.Add(new AuthorizeAttribute());

Can I dynamically remove this attribute from selected methods? Is there a way to do this or would I have to manually apply to the end points?

The only other solution I can think of is to have a flag on that attribute, but then it would be applied twice which would make no sense.

Thanks!

You can use [AllowAnonymous] attribute for disabling Authorization. This attribute is for classes, methods etc.
