title: Using ASP.NET Identity in an ASP.NET Core MVC application without Entity Framework and Migrations
body: <p>Is it possible to use ASP.NET Identity without Entity Framework and Entity Framework migrations? The rest of my application will be using a Micro ORM for data access. However, the application is using the built in ASP.NET Identity Individual User accounts.</p>
  
  <p>My goal is to still be able to use the built in UserManager and LoginManager classes and additionally retrieve a list of the Users using the Micro ORM and do away with anything to do with EF/Migrations. Is this possible? It doesn't seem like it is since the original database structure is created by Applying the initial migration.</p>
  
  <p>If someone has a good technique for doing this, please share.</p>
