Hi priyu323,

It seems you want to use Seed to add data to Users and Roles table. It's similar to other ordinary tables, the biggest difference is we need to hash the password manually.

protected override void Seed(AuthorizeDemo.Models.ApplicationDbContext context)
{
    var passwordHash = new PasswordHasher();
    string password = passwordHash.HashPassword("Password@123");
    context.Users.AddOrUpdate(u => u.UserName,
        new ApplicationUser
        {
            UserName = "[email protected]",
            PasswordHash = password,
            PhoneNumber = "12345678911",
            Email= "[email protected]"
        });
    context.Roles.AddOrUpdate(
        new IdentityRole {Id="1", Name = "Admin" }
        );
}

Or you can the UserStore. In this approach you don’t have to take care of password hashing.

if (!(context.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "[email protected]")))
{
    var userStore = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
    var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(userStore);
    var userToInsert = new ApplicationUser { UserName = "[email protected]", PhoneNumber = "12345678911", Email = "[email protected]" };
    userManager.Create(userToInsert, "Password@123");
}
