How to add a user to a role?

Question

There is existing code in my application that does this:

if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Customer Account Admin")) // { } else { mi = radmenu1.Items.FindItemByText("Admin"); radmenu1.Items.Remove(mi); }

What puts the user in that role We are NOT using the old Role Manager. We are using ASP.NET Identity 2.0 and this doesn't seem to do it:

var manager = Context.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); if (manager.AddToRole(manager.FindByName(UserName.Text).Id, "Customer Account Admin").Succeeded) { c.logActivity("Register.aspx.cs", "REG_USER_ROLE", "Setting user to Admin role succeeded"); } }

You can use IsInRole.

private ApplicationUserManager _userManager; public ApplicationUserManager UserManager { get { if (_userManager == null) { _userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext() .GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>(); } return _userManager; } } bool isAdmin = UserManager.IsInRole(User.Identity.GetUserId(), "Customer Account Admin");

Doesn't that just check that he is that role? I want to add him to the role.

I don't need that. I don't need to find out if he is in the role. I need to add him to that role.

You original said How to get user in a role? Anyhow, AddToRole should work. Have you try var roleResult = await UserManager.AddUserToRolesAsync(user.Id, RoleNames);? The AddUserToRolesAsync helper method comes with Microsoft ASP.NET Identity Samples
