Can some one help me understand the umbraco users and members folders.
I created a user in the users section and gave it a type of Administrator. However I don't see Administrator under the usertypes node. All I see is user, editor and translator.
When i go into the members area I create a new membertype. I then create a new member and assign the new membertype. I can also see password here.
So I'm a bit confused...firstly whats the correct way to add users is it via the users folder or the members folder?
I would like to get ASP.NET Login controls functioning with umbraco. So my question is geared around this.
Members are members of the site (frontend) and users are backend users.
Go into your Users section and find the user that you want to give extra rights, once you open that one up, you get some checkboxes in the "Sections" area so you can pick which ones they will be able to see.
Is there any way i create a custom web page that can give my admin user access to the umbraco backend, i.e., rather than have to navigate to umbra.aspx

Sure, you could create a url rewrite rule in your /config/UrlRewriting.config:
This will make the backend accessible through http://yoursite.ext/admin
<add name="admunRewrite" virtualUrl="^~/admin" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="~/umbraco/umbraco.aspx" ignoreCase="true" redirect="Application" />thanks Sebastiaan. Done what you suggested above and works great.
thanks
