Let's discuss about best practice to use SimpleMembership

SimpleMembership is awsome and it leads to the future, but there is few meterials about SimpleMembership.
The default ASP.NET 4.5 MVC internet project template of VS2012 only covered the scenes such as register, login using SimpleMembership providers. But how about list users, assign roles to user like ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT) does? Do we need to use the old Membership API or use Entity Framework directly to CRUD the user table?
Is there an official guide or topic to SimpleMembership?
Thanks for your concern!
