I have a question, I'm new to identity, but still i would like to know what would be the correct way of assigning role to a user when he is registering?
I have here a code:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName };
RoleManager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(new ApplicationDbContext()));
IdentityRole role = new IdentityRole("Admin");
await RoleManager.CreateAsync(role);
// Store Gender as Claim
user.Claims.Add(new IdentityUserClaim() { ClaimType = ClaimTypes.Gender, ClaimValue = "Male" });
//user.Roles.Add(new IdentityUserRole() { RoleId=role.Id, UserId=user.Id });
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
//await UserManager.AddToRoleAsync(user.Id, "Admin");
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
This is just a test code, but basically if i use method UserManager.AddToROleAsync( ...) it works, BUT, it only happens after the user is added, so basically i do twice the roundtrip to database.
I tried doing it with user.Roles.Add(...) but i get an error when running it.
So my question would be what is the most efficient and correct way of doing it?
