In this article, I will talk about the relationships of IdentityUser in every web application you create using ABP framework. When you read this article, you will learn how to extend the user entity in applications you develop using the ABP framework with a primitive type, extending the user by associating the user with another entity (User-many-to-one-X).
In this article, I will talk about the relationships of IdentityUser in every web application that can be created with the ABP framework. When you read this article, you will learn how to extend the user entity in the applications you develop using the ABP framework with a primitive type, extending the user by associating the user with another entity (User-many-to-one-X).
## Creating the Solution

In this article we will use EF Core as the database and MVC as the user interface. But Angular will also work on Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. ABP Framework offers starter templates to get started faster. We can create a new starter template using the ABP CLI:

After the download is complete, you can run the `IdentityRelationship.DbMigrator` project to create database migrations. You can then run the `IdentityRelationship.Web` project to see our application running.
After the project is created, you can run the `IdentityRelationship.DbMigrator` project to create the database and seed the initial data. You can then run the `IdentityRelationship.Web` project to see our application run.

## Module Entity Extensions
Module entity extension system is a high level extension system that allows you to define new properties for existing entities of the depended modules. It automatically adds properties to the entity, database, HTTP API and the user interface in a single point.

### Extending the User Entity With a Primitive Type
Open the `IdentityRelationshipModuleExtensionConfigurator` class inside the `Domain.Shared` project of your solution and change the `ConfigureExtraPropertiesmethod` as shown below to add a `IdentificationNumber property` to the `IdentityUser` entity of the [Identity Module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Modules/Identity).
