Extended IdentityUser not saving - asp.net

Question

Allright! So I extended my IdentityUser but it is not saving my Users anymore. The code samples can be viewed below. I am trying to seed my database with an admin user but it is not being stored. I have tried running a debugger on my seeds, but it doesn't trigger on anything. So I'm kinda lost. So, here is the code.
My extended User Class:
public class User : IdentityUser, IBaseEntity
{
public virtual ICollection<TimeLogEntry> TimeLogEntries { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedAt { get; set; }
public DateTime UpdatedAt { get; set; }
public bool IsRemoved { get; set; }
public virtual User CreatedBy { get; set; }
public virtual User UpdatedBy { get; set; }
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<User> manager, string authenticationType)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, authenticationType);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}
}
Then ofcourse the Context that inherits from the IdentityDbContext:
public class Context : IdentityDbContext<User>, IContext
{
public Context()
: base("MyConnection", throwIfV1Schema: false)
{
Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
}
// DBSETS
public static Context Create() => new Context();
// MODELBUILDER
}
and finaly my seed:
protected override void Seed(Context context)
{
// Launch debugger on seeds
//if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached == false)
// System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
SeedUsers(context);;
}
private void SeedUsers(Context context)
{
var manager = new UserManager<User>(new UserStore<User>(context));
var adminUser = new User
{
UserName = "Admin",
Email = "admin#test.com"
};
if (!manager.Users.Any())
{
manager.Create(adminUser, "Admin");
}
}
I hope someone can help me with this!

The Seed() that is inside your initializer will only run when your database is recreated - for instance when you are using DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges.
If you use migrations (MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion initializer), there is another Seed() that runs every time you apply the migration using update-database.
