Are we able to add properties to User in the back office. Not Members, but Users. Something like a media picker to choose a thumbnail image? Or would this need to be added in the C# for the User control?
So maybe you could use Jasons suggestion, by create a new table in the Umbraco database and then use an XLST Extension or C# class to get the extended properties in a Razor macro or User Control.
I am not a backend deleveloper, but hope this can help you.
In the next iteration of Umbraco, we should look at the ability to add custom properties/Datatypes to the Users, yet still have the core ones not editable, since those are important. I have a similar issue that the first post was having is that the want/need to add thumbnails to the blog posts or other pages that the user makes.

Hi Carlos,
As far as I know it´s not possible to add properties to Users in the back office. I found some older posts, that say the same, that it´s not possible.
