Create a new Umbraco User in Umbraco 7.1
Hi All,

I'm trying to create a new User (not a Member) from a signup form in Umbraco 7.1.4 and after trying to get my old code to work, it does not work now (as a Partial View or legacy macroScript).

I know there is now example code for a Member sign up in the latest Umbraco version, can I use this as a base for a User signup or is it entirely different? I can't find any documentation yet on how to do this in Umbraco 7.1+ but is there anything out there that can help me?

Pre-Umbraco 7 I would use similar code to the documentation example, which now generates the error 'System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal' does not contain a definition for 'MakeNew' and no extension method 'MakeNew':
```
@using umbraco.BusinessLogic;

@{
    UserType ut = UserType.GetUserType(0);
    User.MakeNew("John Smith", "johnsmith", "secrectPass", ut);
    User u = new User("johnsmith");
    u.Email = "[email protected]";
    u.addApplication("settings");
    u.Save(); 
}
```
Kind Regards,
pronto

Hi Pronto,

The UserService isn't documented yet, so it's a bit of a struggle to find info on it!

To register a new user though, try something like this:
```
var userService = Services.UserService;
var userType = "myUserType";
var createUser = userService.CreateWithIdentity(model.EmailAddress, model.EmailAddress, model.Password, userType);
```
(This is part of a wider MVC implementation, hence the model. syntax - hopefully you get the gist though.)

To log-in a user after creating it, would be something like this:
```
var userLogin = UmbracoContext.Security.PerformLogin(createUser);
```
Hope this helps.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply, it helped out a lot!

For anyone else needing the same thing, this code worked for me (a very, very simple example):
```
var userService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.UserService;
var createUser = userService.CreateWithIdentity("Username", "[email protected]", "password",  "writer"); 
```
