title: MVC5 ASP.net Identity 2.0 user management and deploy from localDB to IIS server 8
body: <p>I am new to ASP.net MVC5 and Identity, after having used WebForms and the Membership provider for almost one year.</p>
  
  <p>I just created a simple MVC5 application with Identity 2.0. A admin user can login and upload new documents and add new links. I disabled user registration (After having registered the first admin user) as I will need to create admin users manually.</p>
  
  <p>I deployed the project to an IIS 8 server, and it works fine, I exported the asp.net Identity tables from my localDB using SQL Management Studio and imported them in the same SQL database as the project is using, changing the web.config connection string that is used locally pointing to the mdf file in App_Data, to point to the SQL database where I imported the Identity Tables.
  Unfortunately this attempt did not work, as using the same login credentials generates a login fail. </p>
  
  <p>First question:
  Was this the best approach to integrate the identity tables into my project database? If not, what else should I do?</p>
  
  <p>Second question:
  When I was using the Membership provider I managed users from the IIS Users and roles tools.
  Now I am not aware of any systems to manage users and roles.
  How can I create new users without using the registration form? How can I manage these users and roles?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
