Sorry if tghis has been asked before but I cannot seem to find much on the topic other than others asking about it
We have been using Umbraco for some time now but we want to look at creating our member sections of our sites so the members/users can be managed in one place rather than a seperate login.
As such we want to be able to create a new user type and add extra properties to it like Address, City, Phone but I cannot see anywhere that this can be done in umbraco 7
It's not possible to add this kind of information to users - Users are only intended for accessing the Umbraco backoffice so if you want to create a login area on the public facing website you'll need to go with members where you can extend the member type to contain those informations.
If you need to give an editor a login for both the backoffice and the login ara on the public facing website you'll need to create him/her both as a user and a member then.
Extending the users area or creating a members area

Hi Eric

Hope this helps.
