ASP.NET Core Identity not allowing user role changes after registration
I'm working on an ASP.NET Core 6.0 application that uses Identity for user management. After a user registers, I want to assign them a specific role, but it seems that the role is not being applied even though I have implemented the necessary code. Here’s what I have in my registration method: ```csharp public async Task<IActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email }; var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password); if (result.Succeeded) { // Attempt to assign role right after registration await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "UserRole"); return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } foreach (var error in result.Errors) { ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, error.Description); } } return View(model); } ``` I have already registered the role "UserRole" in my `Startup.cs` like this: ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>() .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>() .AddDefaultTokenProviders(); // Other configurations... } ``` Despite this, when I check the database, the role is not assigned to the user. There are no errors thrown in the registration process, and I've confirmed that the role exists in the database. I also tried checking if the role assignment was successful by adding logging after the `AddToRoleAsync` call: ```csharp var roleResult = await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "UserRole"); if (!roleResult.Succeeded) { // Log errors if any foreach (var error in roleResult.Errors) { _logger.LogError(error.Description); } } ``` However, this also does not yield any errors. I’m at a loss as to why the role isn't being assigned. Is there something I'm missing in my setup? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
