    Membership

    Hi,

    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.

     

    any help is much appreciated.

     

    thanks

    Umbraco Users and members are often confused, Dirk has a good explanation here http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/5375-User-vs-Member-Best-Practice

    Administrators do not have a user type associated to them, I guess as they are a special case.

    Hope that helps

    Hi Guys thanks for yr prompt replies.

    from what I 've read users can only access the admin backend. and the asp.net login controls are used to allow members to login in.  If I'm wrong please correct me.

     

    What I wanted to do was create a login where the admion of an umbraco website would login via asp.net login control and access the back end.

    So If I'm wright this is not possible.

    Is there any way where I can have a custom login page that matches the website design to access umbraco.aspx, the backend.

     

    thanks
