My son's boy scout troop currently has a site built using Google Sites, and I would love to move them over to Umbraco. The first issue is that the vast majority of the site will only be available to authenticated members. The troop already has an active Google Group, and I would love to use membership in that group to determine if a user has access. (I'd also like to still leverage other Google features - calendar, drive, etc, but that's another issue.) Any thoughts on how / where to start?
Was revisiting this issue tonight, so I want to bump this thread. Any thoughts on how to use google Group membership to control access to the umbraco front end?
Using Google Groups with Umbraco members

Thanks!
you'll have to create your own backOfficeMembershipProvider to authenticate with google
Thanks, Phil,
Just to be clear, I'm talking about logging in to the front-end, not the back end...
ah ok, so you front end users will not be back office authenticated - just authenticated in another manor?
Yup. Ideally, we'd use membership in the troop's Google Group to determine if users are allowed to view the members part of the front end site.
