**Description of the false positive**

In a C# project, we have dozens of potential false positives for "Insecure Direct Object Reference (cs/web/insecure-direct-object-reference)" and "Missing function level access control (cs/web/missing-function-level-access-control)" due to the custom authorization that we use via an attribute. Please see the code example below.
What would you suggest as a mitigation in this situation?

**Code samples or links to source code**

```
[Function(Functions.Event.Add)]
public void PublicFunction() {
Function1();
}

private void Function1() {
Function2();
}

private void Function2(id) {
// load object id <= Insecure Direct Object Reference (cs/web/insecure-direct-object-reference)
}
```

where the `[Function]` attribute takes the user's identity and looks if it is authorized for a specific system function. This checks for both authentication and authorization.

The "Missing function level access control (cs/web/missing-function-level-access-control)" is often reported directly on the function declaration:
```
[Function(Functions = new[] { Functions.Location.Edit })]
public async Task Edit(string name) // <= scanner reports insecure function
```
