title: Asp.Net core MVC6 How to initially add roles in Identity 3
body: <p>I've looked for this in Stackoverflow and so far it appears there are plenty of questions on adding roles in Identity <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19541101/add-role-in-asp-net-identity">1</a> &amp; <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23187028/asp-identity-2-0-adding-new-roles-and-adding-user-to-roles">2</a> but its different in Identity 3.</p>
  
  <p>I want to seed roles in the database. I have just two.  I intended to use _roleManager which I have injected into the class. Thats fine. My problem is.. there doesnt appear to be any method to actually add a role.. Using CreateAsync is for adding the user to the role.. how do you code to add a role using "_userManager" or do you have to do it another way?</p>
