I have requirement to add multiple user roles for a particular user in user creation phase.
So I'm going to achieve this using checkboxes in front end
so this the viewpage
@model project_name.Models.RegisterViewModel @{ } @using (Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "form-horizontal"})) { <div class="form-group"> <label class="col-md-2 control-label"> Select User Role </label> <div class="col-md-10"> @foreach (var item in (SelectList)ViewBag.RoleId) { <input type="checkbox" name="SelectedRoles" value="@item.Value" class="checkbox-inline" /> @Html.Label(item.Value, new { @class = "control-label" }) } </div> </div> .... <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10"> <input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Register" /> </div> </div> }
these are the changes I did over existing AspNet Identity 2.0 framework in App_Start folder => IdentityConfig.cs file
public class RoleManager<TRole> : RoleManager<TRole, string> where TRole : class, IRole<string> { // // Summary: // Constructor // // Parameters: // store: public RoleManager(IRoleStore<TRole, string> store); } public class ApplicationRoleManager : RoleManager<ApplicationRole> { public ApplicationRoleManager( IRoleStore<ApplicationRole, string> roleStore) : base(roleStore) { } public static ApplicationRoleManager Create( IdentityFactoryOptions<ApplicationRoleManager> options, IOwinContext context) { return new ApplicationRoleManager( new RoleStore<ApplicationRole>(context.Get<ApplicationDbContext>())); } }
these are the changes I did over existing AspNet Identity 2.0 framework in Models folder => IdentityModels.cs file
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser { public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync( UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager) { var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync( this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie); return userIdentity; } } public class ApplicationRole : IdentityRole { public ApplicationRole() : base() { } public ApplicationRole(string name) : base(name) { } public string Description { get; set; } }
So then I've set up controller's register method as follows
// POST: /Account/Register [HttpPost] [AllowAnonymous] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model, HttpPostedFileBase upload, params string[] selectedRoles) { try { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.UserName, Email = model.Email }; var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password); if (result.Succeeded) { //Add User to the selected Roles if (selectedRoles != null) { var addroles = await UserManager.AddToRolesAsync(user.Id, selectedRoles); if (!addroles.Succeeded) { ModelState.AddModelError("", result.Errors.First()); ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(await RoleManager.Roles.ToListAsync("Name", "Name")); return View(); } } } else { ModelState.AddModelError("", result.Errors.First()); ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(RoleManager.Roles, "Name", "Name"); return View(); } return RedirectToAction("Index"); // AddErrors(result); } } // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form catch (RetryLimitExceededException /* dex */) { //Log the error (uncomment dex variable name and add a line here to write a log. ModelState.AddModelError("", "Unable to save changes. Try again, and if the problem persists see your system administrator."); } ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(RoleManager.Roles, "Name", "Name"); return View(model); }
but each line of above controller that exist 'RoleManager' word I'm getting compile time error as below
Using the generic type 'RoleManager TRole, TKey' requires 2 type arguments
which means I'm getting 3 compile time errors in above method.
Also I followed this reference to get the idea to assign multiple roles for a user in aspnet idenity
EDIT:
I just changed IdentityRole.cs[MetaData] and IdentityUserRole[MetaData] also as follows
namespace Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework { // // Summary: // Represents a Role entity public class IdentityRole : IdentityRole<string, IdentityUserRole> { // // Summary: // Constructor public IdentityRole(); // // Summary: // Constructor // // Parameters: // roleName: public IdentityRole(string roleName); } public class IdentityRole<TKey, TUserRole> : IRole<TKey> where TUserRole : IdentityUserRole<TKey> { public TKey Id { get { return JustDecompileGenerated_get_Id(); } set { JustDecompileGenerated_set_Id(value); } } public string Name { get; set; } public ICollection<TUserRole> Users { get { return JustDecompileGenerated_get_Users(); } set { JustDecompileGenerated_set_Users(value); } } public IdentityRole() { this.Users = new List<TUserRole>(); } } public class IdentityUserRole<TKey> { public virtual TKey RoleId { get; set; } public virtual TKey UserId { get; set; } public IdentityUserRole() { } } }
