  1. Solution

  • If you use the built-in Identity UI (ABP Blazor), the recommended way to change the Users/Roles UI is to override the related Blazor components and/or extend the toolbars/actions instead of forking the module. ABP makes these components replaceable.
  • To replace the Users and Roles pages with your own components:
    1. Create new components that inherit the originals and mark them to replace the services. Example: override Users page

  @using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization
    @using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection
    @using Volo.Abp.Identity
    @using Volo.Abp.Identity.Blazor.Pages.Identity
    @attribute [Authorize(IdentityPermissions.Users.Default)]
    @attribute [ExposeServices(typeof(UserManagement))]
    @attribute [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
    @inherits UserManagement
  
    <!-- Your customized Users UI goes here -->
  

  Example: override Roles page

  @using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization
    @using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection
    @using Volo.Abp.Identity
    @using Volo.Abp.Identity.Blazor.Pages.Identity
    @attribute [Authorize(IdentityPermissions.Roles.Default)]
    @attribute [ExposeServices(typeof(RoleManagement))]
    @attribute [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
    @inherits RoleManagement
  
    <!-- Your customized Roles UI goes here -->
  

  You can fully redesign the UI (e.g., use MudBlazor, change dialogs to full-page EditForm, etc.) while reusing the base logic by calling the protected members like AppService, MapToCreateInput, MapToEditingEntity, GetListInput, and permission properties.

  • To add extra buttons or commands without rewriting the whole page, use Page Toolbar Extensions or Entity Action Extensions:
    • Page toolbar example (add “Import users” on Users page):

  public class UsersPageToolbarContributor : IPageToolbarContributor
      {
          public Task ConfigureAsync(PageToolbarContributionContext context)
          {
              if (context.PageName == IdentityPageNames.Users)
              {
                  context.Toolbar.Items.Add(new PageToolbarItem
                  {
                      Text = "Import users",
                      Icon = "upload",
                      OnClick = async () =>
                      {
                          // your import logic
                      }
                  });
              }
              return Task.CompletedTask;
          }
      }
  

  Register contributor in your module:
  

  Configure<PageToolbarOptions>(opts =>
      {
          opts.Contributors.Add(new UsersPageToolbarContributor());
      });
  

  • If you extended IdentityUser (e.g., added Code, Address, Manager, etc.) and want these fields to appear on the Users page and also in profile management:
    1. Configure module extension mappings to include your extra properties in the relevant DTOs:

  public override void PostConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        ModuleExtensionConfigurationHelper.ApplyEntityConfigurationToApi(
            IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.ModuleName,
            IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.EntityNames.User,
            getApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserDto), typeof(ProfileDto) },
            createApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserCreateDto) },
            updateApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserUpdateDto), typeof(UpdateProfileDto) }
        );
    }
  

  2. In your overridden components, bind to those properties via ExtraProperties or strongly typed extension helpers (depending on how you defined them) and map them when creating/updating users.

  • About Identity Pro for Blazor:
    • If you own ABP Commercial and want to use Volo.Abp.Identity.Pro.Blazor, add the package to your Blazor UI project and depend on the module in your Blazor module:

  [DependsOn(typeof(Volo.Abp.Identity.Pro.Blazor.AbpIdentityProBlazorModule))]
      public class YourBlazorModule : AbpModule
      {
          public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
          {
              // your customizations
          }
      }
  

  • Then use the same override technique if you need to change specific Pro components: create a component inheriting the Pro component class and annotate with:

  [ExposeServices(typeof(TheProBaseComponentYouOverride))]
      [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
  

  • You can still use PageToolbar and EntityAction extensions for Pro pages.

  • Notes and tips:

    • Overriding components requires the correct base class type in ExposeServices. For the Users page it’s UserManagement; for the Roles page it’s RoleManagement.
    • If you encounter missing symbol errors like “UserName not defined” when copying snippets from docs, ensure your .razor file inherits the correct base partial class (e.g., @inherits UserManagement) and you placed any backing partial class members or injected services expected by that markup.
    • Prefer extension points (toolbar/entity actions) for light customizations. For heavy UI redesigns, overriding the page component is fine.
    • For profile management (My Profile) changes, use ProfileManagementPage contributors to add/replace tabs without forking the Account module; if you want your user extra fields to save, include UpdateProfileDto/ProfileDto in ApplyEntityConfigurationToApi as shown above.
