  is it possible to adjust Identity validation rules for single method?

  Apr 21, 2018 05:35 AM|Embryologist|LINK

  I have default setup for my Identity at startup. can I change certain rules at a method level,

  i.e I want to be able to create a user without email just for the method below?

    private async Task<IdentityResult> CreateOnlineAccount (ApplicationUser user) {
  
              IdentityResult result = await this.userManager.CreateAsync (user);
              return result;
          }

  The email address is not a required field by default and you have total control over which fields are saved.   The only way the email is saved is if you have an email field in a View, use the field to populate the ApplicationUser email property, and invoke userManager,CreateAsync.

  Can you explain the problem you are having?

  this is my setup at starup

  services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>
                  (options => {
  options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = bool.Parse (Configuration["IdentityOptions:User:RequireUniqueEmail"]);
  });
  
  

  when I try to provide null email to my API i get this error,

  warn: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UserManager[13]
  User b42759d5-8085-4d35-b309-c82111bf4f50 validation failed: InvalidUserName;InvalidEmail.

  I know that my email is getting validated, how can I work around it? I want the global setup to validate the email, I just want to disable it for a single menthod

  this.repository.AssignAccountOnly (patientUser);
  
  repository.AddPatientToRegistry (patient);
  
  await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync ();

  
  So I figured out that `CreateAsync` method will run `validateAsync` auto and validate according to my setup. 

  my workaround, which suites my case here, is just to insert a record directly using dbContext,

  this is in my repository, and I call it in my controller after injecting the interface,

  public void AssignAccountOnly (ApplicationUser user) {
              context.ApplicationUser.Add (user);
          } 

  My controller 

  this.repository.AssignAccountOnly (patientUser);
  repository.AddPatientToRegistry (patient);
  await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync ();
