Hi All,

I apologize in advance if my query does not sound clear to you.

I know that I able to create roles in ASP.NET Identity.
The problem I am encountering now is that I am looking for a way to create a multi tier administration model.

To simplify things, assuming that there are three groups, A, B and C.
And all three groups have their own admins who handle their own groups.
Group A is also in charge of both Group B and C.
I am looking for a way for Group A's administrator to gain rights to B and C and also to expand the model to as deep and wide as possible.

What I have tried:

I am currently experimenting at manual ways of storing the hierarchy in another table and to do a lookup and then recursively keep adding the rights whenever there is an update.

There is no out of the box system that you can use, but ASP.NET Identity 2 is pretty much customizable. In order for you to have your own tables, you have to create a custom DbContext or override the IdentityDbContext. That is the starting point, where the tables being used by the Identity 2 are set.
