In API documentation there is no endpoint to fetch User information. Can a member access backoffice? How can a assign members of a group access to certain document? Or shall I create users for this use case?
Why would you? They are different things.
You got your users you can setup for various rights to access the back office.
A member would have a login to a more front end solution like dashboard / interface for their things.
I want my content creator to create content for my website. So I want to give him limited access to Umbraco documents. Also, I want my website users to know about the content creator. What I did to achieve that is, I added a user picker that will represent the content creator. But I was unable to fetch user picker's user details via API & GraphQL. So I were looking into some way to fetch details about the content creator using API or GraphQL. I am not sure if I should use member or a user for my use-case.
With Umbraco Forms you can create content nodes from the submission.
You can have an approval process steps to only create the content on approval or just blind and publish workflows on the content nodes themsevles.
So you got a few options there.
You can create a members login and pages only for them of course and all the above include document/image submissions for all that. The member can have a profile, custom fields that you then view on the website as well.

In terms of submissions..

This is all pretty straight forward.
Thanks, that was exactly what I wanted to know. Things are much clear now.
