Delete user from default mvc application database - c#

I am trying to delete an already existing user from a database, which was created automatically when creating MVC application.
The database consists of tables:
AspNetUsers
AspNetUserRoles
AspNetUserLogins
AspNetUserClaims
AspNetRoles
In my code it looks like this:
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.email, Email = model.email };
var context = new ApplicationDbContext();
context.Users.Attach(user);
context.Users.Remove(user);
context.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("OperationSuccess", "Account");
I have also tried this:
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.email, Email = model.email };
var context = new ApplicationDbContext();
UserManager.DeleteAsync(user);
But it doesn't help at all. The application itselt does not break and does not show any errors, but the user is still in the database. How do I delete it?

Try this code:
public async Task<IdentityResult> DeleteUser(string email)
{
var user = UserManager.Users.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email == email);
if(user == null) return null;
var result = await UserManager.DeleteAsync(user); //here result has two properties Errors and Succeeded.
return result;
}
Also, your code is not working because you are creating the object yourself and assigning only two properties yourself in spite of fetching the data from database.

Hi I think you have some versioning problem and its seems that you need to give one extra paramater to the DeleteAsync method.
Kindly refer the below link, since they had same kind of issue and resolved it.

Hope below code will help you to fix your problem
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult> Delete(string userId)
{
// Check for for both ID and exit if not found
if (String.IsNullEmpty(userId))
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
var user = UserManager.Users.SingleOrDefault(u => u.Id == Userid);
// Look for user in the UserStore
// If not found, exit
if (user == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
var results = await UserManager.DeleteAsync(user); // Remove user from UserStore
// If the statement is a success
if (results.Succeeded)
{
// Redirect to Users page
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Users");
}
else
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
}

Admin claim added to IdentityUser, but the usermanager does not find it with IsInRoleAsync

I have a piece of code that lets an admin add a new admin via email. I check if the user is in our system. If it is, i check if it's already an admin. The odd part is that users that already have the claim 'admin' will still be added as an admin, effectively giving them another same claim in the database. After some debugging I found that IsInRoleAsync will always return false. What could the cause of this be?
public async Task<IActionResult> VoegAdminToe(VoegAdminToeViewModel vam)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
Gebruiker g = _gebruikerRepository.GetByEmail(vam.Email);
if (g != null)
{
bool isAdmin = await _userManager.IsInRoleAsync(g, "admin");
if (!isAdmin)
{
await _userManager.AddClaimAsync(g, new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, "admin"));
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
ModelState.AddModelError("GebruikerAlAdmin", "Deze gebruiker is al Admin");
return View(vam);
}
ModelState.AddModelError("GebruikerNull","Deze gebruiker zit niet in het systeem");
return View(vam);
}
else
{
return View(vam);
}
}
My guess would be that the function IsInRoleAsync will not go looking in the table AspNetUserClaims, but I'm not quite sure if there's another method to check for this.
IsInRoleAsync is failing in your case because you're passing an entire object, rather than the UserId.
bool isAdmin = await _userManager.IsInRoleAsync(g, "admin");
So, you should actually be passing the UserId field of the Gebruiker object, rather than the object itself.
MSDN
I've resolved the issue by using GetClaimsAsync:
IList<Claim> claimsUser = await _userManager.GetClaimsAsync(g);
bool isAdmin = claimsUser.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Value == "admin") != null;

How to insert a dependent record when using UserManager Identity to create users?

I'm using the Identity with UserManager Pattern.
When I need to create a new user, my Register action of Account controller has this code
var user = new WebUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email, CreatedOn = DateTime.Now, FullName = model.Email, EmailConfirmed = true };
IdentityResult result = await RegisterService.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (!result.Succeeded && ((string[])result.Errors).Length > 0)
{
foreach (var erro in result.Errors)
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", erro);
}
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
else if (!result.Succeeded)
return InternalServerError();
For now it works, but my rule needs something specific. Every user in my database need to have a record in other table. How can I implement it?
I feel like wrong putting into the controller the rule like "if succeeded create a record into another table" because I'll need a transaction scope in the controller. It's sounds dirty to me.
Can someone help me?

How can I test methods which needs user to be logged

I'm testing some code which needs user to be logged in. When I'm trying to log in with AccountController, it's looks like everything is working, but at AccountController (IPrincipal) User is still null. How can I properly log in (or better, can I mock it somehow)?
public async Task SetupAsync()
{
var context = new DataContext();
var manager = new UserManager(new UserStore(context));
var accountController = new AccountController(manager);
var mockAuthenticationManager = new Mock<IAuthenticationManager>();
mockAuthenticationManager.Setup(am => am.SignOut());
mockAuthenticationManager.Setup(am => am.SignIn());
accountController.AuthenticationManager = mockAuthenticationManager.Object;
var user = new LoginViewModel
{
Email = "user#wp.pl",
Password = "useruser",
RememberMe = false
};
if (manager.FindByEmail("user#wp.pl") == null)
{
await manager.CreateAsync(new User { Email = "user#wp.pl", UserName = "user#wp.pl" }, "useruser");
}
await accountController.Login(user, "home/index");
_calendarController = new CalendarController(context);
}
Here I got User null exception:
public ClaimsPrincipal CurrentUser
{
get { return new ClaimsPrincipal((System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal)this.User); }
}
Edit: At return line, I have still User property null. This is sample from AccountController:
var user = await _userManager.FindAsync(model.Email, model.Password);
if (user != null)
{
await SignInAsync(user, model.RememberMe);
return RedirectToAction("index", "calendar");
}
You should mock your _userManager, and use a mock setup for when the method FindAsync is called. Then you return a fake user you can use later in the code
Figured it out on my own, probably not elegant solution but I'm happy anyway. #andreasnico your answer helped, thanks.
I'm mocking my custom ClaimsPrincipal, and setting up UserId - that's what I really needed.
var mockCp = new Mock<IClaimsPrincipal>();
mockCp.SetupGet(cp => cp.UserId).Returns(user.Id);
_calendarController.CurrentUser = mockCp.Object;

Updating a user with Asp.Net Identity - username exists

I am struggling a bit with Asp.net Identity and updating a user. When I run the code below succeed is false and the error message is that the user with username exists. Which is - of course - obvious because you are updating a user, not creating a new one.
I have tried to remove the username without much success, I was then told that the Name (I believe it meant Username) could not be empty.
Snip of code below.
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(RegisterViewModel model)
{
var user = new User()
{
UserName = model.UserName, FirstName = model.FirstName, LastName = model.LastName, Email = model.EmailAddress,
ApplicationId = Utilities.ApplicationUtilities.GetApplicationId()
};
var userContext = new ApplicationDbContext();
var userStore = new UserStore<User>(userContext);
var userManager = new UserManager<User>(userStore);
var result = await userManager.UpdateAsync(user);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
var selectedRole = model.SelectedRole;
if (!userManager.IsInRole(user.Id, selectedRole.Id))
{
// We are removing the user from the old role. He / she cannot have two or more roles
userManager.RemoveFromRole(user.Id, model.OldRole);
// Now we are adding the user to the new role
userManager.AddToRole(user.Id, selectedRole.Id);
userManager.Update(user);
}
userContext.SaveChanges();
// await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "UserManager");
}
The solution based on the input from Jonesy became something like this:
/*
* Some more information /Just in case someone else does the same
* mistakes I did...
*/
model.OldRole = "User"; // Name of old role - not ID of old role
model.SelectedRoleId = "Administrator"; // Name of new role, not ID of new role
// This test is here just to check if the model is valid or not
// By adding this part, you can check what is possibly wrong with your model
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
var errors = ModelState
.Where(x => x.Value.Errors.Count > 0)
.Select(x => new {x.Key, x.Value.Errors})
.ToArray();
}
// Creating the ApplicationDbContext object
var userContext = new ApplicationDbContext();
// Getting the list of users (I tried using Find here, but got errors)
var userList = userContext.Users.ToList();
// Decided to use First or Default. You also have to use double
// equal-characters(=) otherwise you will get errors
var user = userList.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName == model.UserName);
// Checking that we really found the user to update
if (user != null)
{
// populate the user object
user.UserId = model.UserId;
user.FirstName = model.FirstName;
user.LastName = model.LastName;
user.Email = model.EmailAddress;
}
// creating the UserStore object
var userStore = new UserStore<User>(userContext);
// ... and the userManager object
var userManager = new UserManager<User>(userStore);
// Do the update - I believe this is on the userManager-object
// and not in the database
var result = await userManager.UpdateAsync(user);
// If we get an error, we return to list of Users
// (You should log the error and also return the user to the form)
if (!result.Succeeded) return RedirectToAction("Index", "UserManager");
// Do the actual update in the database
userContext.SaveChanges();
// If the old role and the selected role is the same, we don't
// have to update
if (model.OldRole == model.SelectedRoleId) return RedirectToAction("Index", "UserManager");
// Get the selected role (sort of not needed, but here for clarity)
string selectedRole = model.SelectedRoleId;
// We are removing the user from the old role.
// In our application a user cannot have two or more roles
userManager.RemoveFromRole<User, string>(user.UserId, model.OldRole);
// Now we are adding the user to the new role
userManager.AddToRole<User, string>(user.UserId, selectedRole);
// We are updating the userManager-object
userManager.Update(user);
// And storing the information in the database
userContext.SaveChanges();
// Returning the user to the list of users
return RedirectToAction("Index", "UserManager");
use your dbContext to pull the user to update, instead of creating a new one:
var user = userContext.Find(model.UserName);
or you may need
var user = userContext.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName = model.UserName && u.Email = model.EmailAddress);
if(user != null)
{
//update user
}
this is an old one but just wanted to post my solution to the same update issue
var user = UserManager.FindByEmail(model.Email);
user.Address = model.Address;
user.City = model.City;
user.State = model.State;
var result = await UserManager.UpdateAsync(user);
you can also manage roles
user.Roles.Add(Role);
user.Roles.Remove(Role);

Correct way of setting the role for user when he is registered with Identity

I have a question, I'm new to identity, but still i would like to know what would be the correct way of assigning role to a user when he is registering?
I have here a code:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName };
RoleManager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(new ApplicationDbContext()));
IdentityRole role = new IdentityRole("Admin");
await RoleManager.CreateAsync(role);
// Store Gender as Claim
user.Claims.Add(new IdentityUserClaim() { ClaimType = ClaimTypes.Gender, ClaimValue = "Male" });
//user.Roles.Add(new IdentityUserRole() { RoleId=role.Id, UserId=user.Id });
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
//await UserManager.AddToRoleAsync(user.Id, "Admin");
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
This is just a test code, but basically if i use method UserManager.AddToROleAsync( ...) it works, BUT, it only happens after the user is added, so basically i do twice the roundtrip to database.
I tried doing it with user.Roles.Add(...) but i get an error when running it.
So my question would be what is the most efficient and correct way of doing it?
I don't know if there's a better way. I normally to it the same way as you do, first creating the role (if it doesn't exist), then creating the user, and as a last step adding the user to the role.
To use user.Roles.Add(...) the role must be present. The reason is the database (in this case Entity Framework and SQL Server). When looking closer at the Identity database you'll see that there is a relationship between the AspNetRoles and AspNetUsers table through the AspNetUserRoles table which has the UserId and the RoleId as a key. That means you can't add a user to a role when the user does not exist yet (and vice versa). So in my opinion you have to do twice the roundtrip (if you don't directly work on the context).
This works fine (Asp.Net Core Identity):
var role = await this.roleManager.FindByNameAsync( "Admin" );
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };
var userRole = new IdentityUserRole<int> {
RoleId = role.Id,
};
user.Roles.Add(userRole );
var result = await this.userManager.CreateAsync( user, model.Password);
