Description

Many users stumble upon basic Identity/Cookie auth concepts. It would be good if we could describe the identity login/logout processes with a bit of detail (what happens at the HTTP level and why, and what are the general requirements (for example, having an existing request to be able to set a cookie)) so that we can point users when they try to implement their own login for signalr/blazor-server enabled apps.

***Edit by @Rick-Anderson*** From #22096
There is no detailed introduction to RoleManager, UserManager, and SignInManager in the document, especially RoleManager at all.
