title: ASP.NET Identity "Role-based" Claims
body: <p>I understand that I can use claims to make statements about a user:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var claims = new List&lt;Claim&gt;();
  claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, "Peter"));
  claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Email, "peter@domain.com"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how should I store "role-based" claims?  For example:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The user is a super administrator.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>claims.Add(new Claim("IsSuperAdmin, "true"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The value parameter "true" feels completely redundant.  How else can this statement be expressed using claims?</p>
