I'm trying to seed an admin role in MVC5 using Entity Framework and it seems that we're no longer using WebSecurity and SimpleRoleProvider.
I found a great post titled: MVC5 Seed Roles and Users.
I read through this and tried implementing it but I'm having trouble in two spots. In the example provided they only show how to add a username, while the site requires an email and password to register.
here's how i used to do it in MVC4:
protected override void Seed(PhotoAlbum.Models.UsersContext context)
{
seedUserAccounts();
}
private void seedUserAccounts()
{
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("UsersContext", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
SimpleRoleProvider roles = (SimpleRoleProvider)Roles.Provider;
if (!roles.RoleExists("admin"))
{
roles.CreateRole("admin");
}
SimpleMembershipProvider membership = (SimpleMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider;
if (membership.GetUser("account", false) == null)
{
membership.CreateUserAndAccount("account", "pass");
}
if (!roles.IsUserInRole("account", "admin"))
{
roles.AddUsersToRoles(new[] { "account" }, new[] { "admin" });
}
}
I'd like to know how to alter the method below to allow for an email address and password.
protected override void Seed(BlogEngine.Models.ApplicationDbContext context)
{
if (!context.Roles.Any(r => r.Name == "Admin"))
{
var store = new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context);
var manager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(store);
var role = new IdentityRole { Name = "Admin" };
manager.Create(role);
}
if (!context.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "myUsername"))
{
var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(store);
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = "myUsername" };
manager.Create(user, "ChangeItAsap!");
manager.AddToRole(user.Id, "Admin");
}
}
As Steve Greene said above, I was pretty much there already... I did make a few changes. Here's my final solution:
// makes an admin role if one doesn't exist
if (!context.Roles.Any(r => r.Name == "Admin"))
{
var store = new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context);
var manager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(store);
var role = new IdentityRole { Name = "Admin" };
manager.Create(role);
}
// if user doesn't exist, create one and add it to the admin role
if (!context.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "admin"))
{
var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(store);
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = "[email protected]", Email = [email protected]" };
manager.Create(user, "password");
manager.AddToRole(user.Id, "Admin");
}
