I'm trying to make an ASP.net MVC website. I have setup Roles in the Startup.cs file as follows:

    private void CreateRolesAndUsers()

    {

        ApplicationDbContext context = new ApplicationDbContext();

        var roleManager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context));

        var UserManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context));



        if (!roleManager.RoleExists("SuperAdmin"))

        {

            // first we create Admin role   

            var role = new Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityRole();

            role.Name = "SuperAdmin";

            roleManager.Create(role);

            //Here we create a Admin super user who will maintain the website

            var user = new ApplicationUser();

            user.UserName = "SuperAdmin";

            user.Email = "SuperAdmin@SU.com";



            string userPWD = "Password1";



            var chkUser = UserManager.Create(user, userPWD);

            //Add default User to Role Admin   



            if (chkUser.Succeeded)

            {

                var result1 = UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, "SuperAdmin");

            }

        }

    }

I have verified that the above code successfully adds the roles to the db and I first noticed the roles not working when I tried Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name, "SuperAdmin")

I'm trying to controll which roles see certain content in a view and am getting an Exception:

System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: 'The Role Manager feature has not been enabled.'

when I try to call the following line in a .cshtml file: @Roles.GetRolesForUser();

ive looked where to enable roleManager in Web.config, but cant find it and it dosent work if i add it under the system.web section

EDIT: adding (>roleManager enabled="true"<) into the following code produces another unhandled exception whenever using IsUserInRole: "System.Web.HttpException: Unable to connect to SQL Server database."

<system.web>

    <authentication mode="None"/>

    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7"/>

    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7"/>

</system.web>

i think i might be simply missing a dependancy or some initalizer but have no clue and none of the other solutions in similar quesions have worked.

You can do this by reading from the boolean property at:

System.Web.Security.Roles.Enabled
This is a direct read from the enabled attribute of the roleManager element in the web.config:

<configuration>

  <system.web>

    <roleManager enabled="true" />

  </system.web>

</configuration>
