Do I add my Models in the IdentityDbContext from the template?
I'm trying to create a project, where I'll have two types of users (regular and admin) and I'll have a bunch of other models. I am using asp.net core 8 and created my project with the
blazor --auth Individual options. It generated for me an ApplicationDbContext which inherits from IdentityDbContext. Should I add my DbSets in this class or should I use a separate context? Ideally I'd want to have separate levels of access for the different user types.2 Replies
You add dbsets to existing context class if it is the same database
And access control is not a db thing, more like Identity/AuthZ
IMO you should not make the admin model different from the regular user model, this is solved with Roles/Claims
In other words, admin is a regular user but with Admin role
IdentityDbContext is a regular DbContext but with some predefined tables
Okay thank you. Just using roles does sound much cleaner and I only have one database so I'll just add the DbSets in this IdentityDbContext.
