    Listening to User Creation

    Hello,

    My goal is to create a member with identical login and password, whenever a backoffice user is created, but I can't find any event listener or something to listen to when user created? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi Edgaras

    Could you perhaps make use of the UserServices' SavingUser event?

    I'm not sure what you would use for the password for the 'twinned' member?

    public class AppStart : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            UserService.SavingUser += UserService_SavingUser;
        }
    
        private void UserService_SavingUser(IUserService sender, Umbraco.Core.Events.SaveEventArgs<Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership.IUser> e)
        {
            var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
            // do something with each saved IUser
            foreach (var savedUser in e.SavedEntities)
            {
                //check if member exists
               var existingMember = memberService.GetByEmail(savedUser.Email);
                if (existingMember != null)
                {
                    var newMember = memberService.CreateMemberWithIdentity(savedUser.Username, savedUser.Email, savedUser.Name, "Member");
                    memberService.Save(newMember);      
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Thank you!

    I have a problem where I need backoffice users to have aditional properties to go along with content they create(e.g. job title, number, etc.) and I was going to make a member type with those properties for them to use, but I don't want content creators to have two different accounts on the same site.

    Since I guess keeping passwords the same would be a problem, I am thinking about creating twinned member for each user with a random generated password that they will never use, and authenticate as said member whenever coresponding user is logged in inside backoffice. Would this be a terrible idea?
