User account Branch selection

Simon Smith

Good Day.

I have a MVC5 project using identity 2. I created a table named branch which stores 5 branch locations. The goal is to have the user select the branch he wants to log into, this will then be tagged to all their transactions. Once logged in the user will only be able to see transaction(theirs and others) corresponding to the branch he selected after initial authentication.

Could you point me to the right the resources that could be of benefit for this. Thanks

What I have tried:

I have extended the account model to include a foreign key for a table called branch lookup this will then provide a many to many relationship to the table branches

Thanks for reply but the use of the role will come after. Eg. The role will give the user the ability to enter a transaction, however, when the transactions commits it must also state the branch it was done under

Just I am display some code for your reference .Please do something for your self and go ahead
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;

In startup for

ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)

add Identity
services.AddIdentity()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders();


define IUserManager Interface


define the model

public class ApplicationUser
    {
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        public string Password { get; set; }
        public string email { get; set; }
        public string Role { get; set; }
    }


In security controler


private UserManager UserManager;
        private readonly IUserManager _usm;
        public SecurityController(IUserManager usm)
        {
            _usm = usm;

        }


Define the SugnInAsyncs method for sign in .Before it you can define a method for registration
private async Task SignInAsyncs(ApplicationUser user, bool isPersistent)
        {

            var claims = new[] { new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.UserName),
            new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, user.Role) };

            var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

            await HttpContext.SignInAsync(
                CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
                new ClaimsPrincipal(identity));
            // Do your redirect here

        }
