I am a new in asp.net identity and I am trying to add identity in my project but unable to find any step by step tutorial for that. How can I add a new user to my application and how can I create a role and how can I assign role to user ? previously I was doing that all through asp.net membership, but how can I do that in identity ? is any tutorial available about asp.net identity ?

I am using visual studio community 2015 update 2 and my application is in ASP.NET VB, so is that any tutorial in asp.net vb ?

You should go over "Introduction to ASP.NET Identity". The following ASP.NET posts use VS 2013 in the examples, but you should get the general ideas.

https://www.asp.net/aspnet/overview/authentication-and-identity

The following should be helpful as well:

Hi  mktghy,

When you install ASP.NET Identity in your application, you could find the default template of the identity system . Read the detail logic will help you understand more about how the identity system works . For example , the AccountController class contains all the CRUD operations on our user profile in such a way that it is wrapped in form of "Register", "Login", "Manage" functions . You could find related logic and code in this class . Please read below articles which will help you understand ASP.NET Identity better :
