Get list of users with assigned roles in asp.net identity 2.0

Question

I have a drop down list box which lists roles. I want to get the list of users having that role. I mean list of users that are in \"Administrator\" role or \"CanEdit\" role.

Answer 1

Using the RoleManager gives you this solution:

if(roleManager.RoleExists("CanEdit"))
{
    var idsWithPermission = roleManager.FindByName("CanEdit").Users.Select(iur => iur.Id);
    var users = db.Users.Where(u => idsWithPermission.Contains(u.Id));
}

I'd be interested to hear if this was better or worse than the other solutions here.
