Question

I am using the identity model that comes standard with the MVC template.

I can find the role the user is in using user.Roles which gives me a list of IdentityUserRole. But I only have access to the RoleId.

I basically what to check if the user is in the "Admin" role.

Answer 1

You can use UserManager to check if an application user has some role. Try

bool result = _userManager.IsInRole("userId", "Admin");

Or

bool result = await _userManager.IsInRoleAsync("userId", "Admin");
