MVC 5 Roles Out-of-the-box

Question

Grettings. I see a thousand of questions and i lost on every one of them... So... Basically i start a new project on VS (WebAPI) with Authentication. I put the token on the header and the methods with

[Authorize]

works fine. Later i add a two roles into the table dbo.AspNetRoles (admin and users) and to one user i add the relationship in the table dbo.AspNetUserRoles like this:

USER ID    |    Roleid
-----------------------
1d156e98-fc8b-4dcb-8dba-f7c66131f488  |  1001

So, when i try to put this:

[Authorize(role="admin")]

Dont work... The request is denied. What i need to do exactly?

Thanks

So at the end i use this following code to resolve this:

public class DAO
{
    public static void addRoleToUser(ApplicationUser user, string role)
    {
        // EL SIGUIENTE CODIGO AGREGA AL USUARIO UN ROL
        ApplicationDbContext context = new ApplicationDbContext(); 
        var userStore = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
        var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(userStore);
        userManager.AddToRole(user.Id,role);
    }
}

This sync the role to the user and the context db. In the controller after register a new user automatically adds the rol "User" with the code:

// POST api/Account/Register
    [AllowAnonymous]
    [Route("Register")]
    public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Register(RegisterBindingModel model)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return BadRequest(ModelState);
        }

        var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };

        IdentityResult result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);

        if (!result.Succeeded)
        {
            return GetErrorResult(result);
        }
        // Codigo de Ali para agregar el rol "User" al usuario inmediatamente es creado
        DAO.addRoleToUser(user, "User");
        return Ok();
    }

Thanks to dawidr to help me to go deep on this.
