Get list of users with assigned roles in asp.net identity 2.0

Not an expert, but …

There seemed to be no built in funcionality for this in Identity and I could not get it work from built in Roles also (it seems to not work with claims based Identity).

So I ended up doing something like this:

var users = context.Users        
    .Where(x => x.Roles.Select(y => y.Id).Contains(roleId))
    .ToList();

• x.Roles.Select(y => y.Id) gets a list of all role ids for user x
• .Contains(roleId) checks if this list of ids contains necessary roleId
