I need to customize for my project Membership and Role Provider, so I'm analyzing the basic structure of umbraco about this. I don't found in the wiki a basic description of Members section but only "Public Access" procedure.
Could you please indicate me any documentation about this? About roles, what is the different between "Members Groups" and "Member Type" used in Umbraco? How are handled the roles in umbraco database?
Hi. As for your second question - a member group is an analogue of a role so that it's a term of security, a member type is an umbraco analogue of a member profile - the way to define some custom properties for a member.
Umbraco implements the Membership Provider from Microsoft, which means that you can use all default functionalities out of the box, and also that you should be able to replace it by your own implementation of a Micrsoft Membership Provider.
The Members section is just a view of this.
One element to pay attention to, though, is that you need to define a default member type in your web.config settings.

Thanks in advance,
