Add claims when creating a new user

Question

I am creating a new User using ASP.NET Core Identity as follows:

new User {   Email = "[email protected]",   Name = "John" }  await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "password"); 

I need to add a Claims when creating the user. I tried:

new User {   Email = "[email protected]",   Name = "John",   Claims = new List<Claim> { /* Claims to be added */ }   } 

But Claims property is read only.

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You can use UserManager<YourUser>.AddClaimAsync method to add a claims to your user

var user = new User {   Email = "[email protected]",   Name = "John" }  await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "password");  await userManager.AddClaimAsync(user, new System.Security.Claims.Claim("your-claim", "your-value")); 

Or add claims to the user Claims collection

var user = new User {   Email = "[email protected]",   Name = "John" }  user.Claims.Add(new IdentityUserClaim<string>  {      ClaimType="your-type",      ClaimValue="your-value"  });  await userManager.CreateAsync(user);
