I have created an action in the Accounts controller that calls a function to create the roles and assign the Admin role to the default user. (You should probably remove the default user in production):
private async Task CreateRolesandUsers()
{
bool x = await _roleManager.RoleExistsAsync("Admin");
if (!x)
{
// first we create Admin rool
var role = new IdentityRole();
role.Name = "Admin";
await _roleManager.CreateAsync(role);
//Here we create a Admin super user who will maintain the website
var user = new ApplicationUser();
user.UserName = "default";
user.Email = "[email protected]";
string userPWD = "somepassword";
IdentityResult chkUser = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, userPWD);
//Add default User to Role Admin
if (chkUser.Succeeded)
{
var result1 = await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "Admin");
}
}
// creating Creating Manager role
x = await _roleManager.RoleExistsAsync("Manager");
if (!x)
{
var role = new IdentityRole();
role.Name = "Manager";
await _roleManager.CreateAsync(role);
}
// creating Creating Employee role
x = await _roleManager.RoleExistsAsync("Employee");
if (!x)
{
var role = new IdentityRole();
role.Name = "Employee";
await _roleManager.CreateAsync(role);
}
}
After you could create a controller to manage roles for the users.
