Add claims on successful login and retrieve it elsewhere in the application

Question

Please I need assistance in implementing a custom way of assigning claims to authenticated users. On successful login,

var result = await SignInManager.Pass         


        

Answer 1

are you not able to access User.Identity from the view?

To retrieve claims for a user, it's been as simple as this for me:

var identity = (ClaimsIdentity) User.Identity

And then accessing identity.Claims and using LINQ to retrieve specific claims.
