Membership Users and Groups

Membership users are a category of users who have limited privileges to Ektron CMS400.NET. Unlike regular CMS users, they cannot use the Workarea. When a membership user logs in, he can view, add and edit content from the Web site (as permitted) -- all other functionality is disabled.

Membership users can also be granted permission to view private content. This is helpful if your organization has partners who need access to Web pages that should not be visible to the general public.

When you have a Social Network or Community Web site, membership users can create an online area for themselves.

You can use Membership groups to group similar membership users.

To make Web page URLs friendly for Community Users and Groups, Ektron CMS400.NET provides a feature called Community URL Aliasing. This let's you make URLs that are easy to use and remember for Users and Groups. Community URL Aliasing for more information.
