My question is how do I seed users and ro

Answer 1

write this code in your Migration Configuration.

note: Use ApplicationDbContext in Configuration Class.

    internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
        AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = false;
    }

    protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
    {
        //  This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.

        //  You can use the DbSet.AddOrUpdate() helper extension method 
        //  to avoid creating duplicate seed data.
                   context.Roles.AddOrUpdate(p =>
            p.Id,
                new IdentityRole { Name = "Admins"},
                new IdentityRole { Name = "PowerUsers" },
                new IdentityRole { Name = "Users" },
                new IdentityRole { Name = "Anonymous" }
            );


    }
}
