Might help someone else: If you add asp.net identity through scaffolding to an existing project, you'll need to edit the IdentityHostingStartup.cs and change the services there instead of in your startup class:

services.AddIdentity()
                .AddDefaultUI()
                .AddRoles()
                .AddRoleManager>()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders()
                .AddEntityFrameworkStores();

And then you can use the role manager in your seeding.
