Setting up UserRole management with MVC6 and the new Identity

I have a new asp.net (core 1.0) mvc6 web application with the latest version of identity 3.x.

I am trying to figure out what I have to do on my own and what is already plug and play for me with Identity 3.x.

Here is my goal:

I want to create the following:
UserManagement page (will list the users from AspNetUsers table and can add new users here)

UserDetail page (can add roles to a user here which will get saved in the AspNetUserRoles table)

RoleManagement page (will list the roles from AspNetRoles table and can add new roles to the system here)

I am trying to figure out: If how much of the above the built in UserManager class can help me out with. I noticed there are RemoveFromRoleAsync, RemoveFromRolesAsync, AddToRoleAsync, and AddToRolesAsync functions. I can most likely call these functions to do the saving, but I am assuming I will have to create my own functions to list the Users and Roles in grids.

You can work with the UserManager and the RoleManager. UserManager has Users and RoleManager has Roles properties.

//assuming you have injected these into your controller's constructor
var users = _userManager.Users.ToList();
var roles = _roleManager.Roles.ToList();

If you want to learn more of what you can do with Identity, we did a free course on identity https://mva.microsoft.com/en-us/training-courses/customizing-asp-net-authentication-with-identity-8647
