I do not have a role manager section define in my web.config

Question

I created a new mvc4 project on VS 2010 express. Now I want to add roles to the db. I am using package manager console to run the update-database command to insert roles and it give me the following error

PM> Update-Database -verbose
Using StartUp project 'eManager.Web'.
Using NuGet project 'eManager.Web'.
Specify the '-Verbose' flag to view the SQL statements being applied to the target database.
Target database is: 'eManager.Web' (DataSource: .\SQLEXPRESS, Provider: System.Data.SqlClient, Origin: Configuration).
No pending code-based migrations.
Running Seed method.

The Role Manager feature has not been enabled.

I need to enable Role Manager but I cannot find the section in web.config

Following is web.config file

Answer 1

The section is not there by default but you can just add it.

Put it within <system.web>

e.g.

<system.web>
   <roleManager defaultProvider="CustomRoleProvider" >
     <providers>
       <clear />
       <add name="CustomRoleProvider" type="MyNamespace.CustomRoleProvider" />
     </providers>
   </roleManager>
   <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
....
