    <p>I'm trying to get Membership roles being created in my SQL Azure database using ASP.NET MVC 4 and Entity Framework 5. I can get this to work just fine on my local host, but it doesn't seem to create the accounts nor the membership roles on Azure. Note that I'm also using Fluent NHibernate but I believe this is unrelated.</p> <p>In my Application_Start() function I initialize the database to make sure all the tables exist:</p> <pre><code>WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true); </code></pre> <p>I also created a SeedMembership() function (called by the Seed() function in Migrations\Configuration.cs) that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>private void SeedMembership() { WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true); var roles = (SimpleRoleProvider)Roles.Provider; var membership = (SimpleMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider; if (!roles.RoleExists("Administrator")) { roles.CreateRole("Administrator"); } if (membership.GetUser("TestAccount", false) == null) { membership.CreateUserAndAccount("TestAccount", "testpwd"); } if (!roles.GetRolesForUser("TestAccount").Contains("Administrator")) { roles.AddUsersToRoles(new[] { "TestAccount" }, new[] { "Administrator" }); } } </code></pre> <p>Using update-database in the package manager console I can see that the Seed method is being called. I even ran this command using the actual SQL Azure connection string:</p> <pre><code>PM&gt; Update-Database -StartUpProjectName "MyProject" -ConnectionString "Data Source=tcp:myDB.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=myDB;User Id=myUser@myDB;Password=myPwd" -ConnectionProviderName "System.Data.SqlClient" Specify the '-Verbose' flag to view the SQL statements being applied to the target database. Applying code-based migrations: [201212251057032_Initial]. Applying code-based migration: 201212251057032_Initial. Running Seed method. PM&gt; </code></pre> <p>But even like this my "Administrator" account is not created. I know because I added a check in my view:</p> <pre><code>@if(User.IsInRole("Administrator")) { &lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("Admin", "Index", "Admin")&lt;/li&gt; } </code></pre> <p>And the "Admin" link never shows up when trying on Azure, but works just fine locally.</p> <p>Is there a way for me to troubleshoot what's going on? Am I even trying this correctly?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
