title: Identity Membership roles ASP.NET 4.5 MVC Adding Claims based Roles
body: <p>I have used the sample given in <a href="https://github.com/rustd/AspnetIdentitySample" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rustd/AspnetIdentitySample</a> to create a custom User profile data.</p>
  
  <p>However, I am not sure how to assign roles to the newly registered user upon sign up. It looks like it uses .net 4.5 Claims based roles. Also it uses Code First - migrations and creates the necessary Membership tables like Roles, UserRoles. </p>
  
  <p>I am looking to add a new role to Roles tables and assign this role to a new user with an entry into the UserRoles table.</p>
  
  <p>Help is really appreciated.</p>
