In MVC4 I was using the code
Roles.AddUserToRole(User.Identity.Name, "Approved");
Is there any other way of doing the same(adding user to role "Approved") in MVC5 Identity Model?
EDIT: I meant to ask is this the right way of adding a user to a role? Because in a lot of examples they do not use this code.
Identity feature in mvc4 is not available where as this is available in mvc5. 2. Authentication filter is not available in MVC4 where as Authentication filter is available in MVC5. Authentication filter is a new kind of filter in ASP.NET that runs prior to the authentication in MVC.
You can call AddToRole
or AddToRoleAsync
as an instance method on any object of type UserManager<TUser>
to achieve it in MVC 5, like below:
var _context = new ApplicationDbContext();
var UserManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(_context));
UserManager.AddToRole("UserName", "UserRole");
