User and Role Management in ASP.NET Core

Project

For this assignment, you will be working with users and roles.  Allow users to register themselves to the system as either a locally-verified user or an externally-verified user (via Google, Yahoo, etc.).   Since we can’t lock out new members until approved by an administrator (we’d need to generate & modify the AccountController Razor Page), we’ll treat everyone in the members role as approved users and everyone else as strangers.  You will do role-management in this assignment: create/delete roles, and add/remove users in roles.  The lecture exercise will take you through user management: enable users, delete strangers, and reset passwords.  Normally, these tasks would be performed by site administrators.

1. Take your current XXPatients project or start with A1Patients from eConestoga.ca:

b. Ensure the variable message from TempData displays, bold & red, on _layout before the View’s page

c. Enable Session variables in startup.cs

2. Create a drop-down menu item labelled Security, with sub-menu items User Maintenance and Role Maintenance.  

3. Register local users named [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected], all with the password Fred@fred1.
