How to use Roles in ASP.NET Core 2.1?

I\'ve created a test project using:

It seems that finally Microsoft understood that not every application needs roles and separated them.

Notice that AddDefaultIdentity is declared as:

public static IdentityBuilder AddDefaultIdentity(this IServiceCollection services) where TUser : class;

So, you can continue to configure Identity options through that IdentityBuilder. What you want to do is:

services.AddDefaultIdentity().AddRoles();

Fortunately, they also removed the IUser and IRole constrains, so now you can use models in a completely separate assembly without having to install hundreds of NuGet packages.
