You can use the regular ASP.NET membership functions to create and manage users. Look inside N2.Edit.Membership.Edit and you will find that it is as simple as:
| To do this... | Use this code... |
|---|
| Add a user to a role | Roles.AddUserToRole(username, rolename); |
| Remove a user from a role | Roles.RemoveUserFromRole(username, rolename); |
| Save changes to a user | System.Web.Security.Membership.UpdateUser(username);
|
| Create a new user | |
| Delete a user | |
How does it work?
If you look in web.config you will see that everything membership-related is actually driven by N2.Security.ContentMembershipProvider by default.
| Code Block |
|---|
|
<providers>
<add passwordFormat="Hashed"
name="ContentMembershipProvider"
type="N2.Security.ContentMembershipProvider, N2.Management" />
</providers> |
...
All manipulation with users are done with ItemBridge...
| Code Block |
|---|
|
ItemBridge bridge = N2.Context.Current.Resolve<ItemBridge>(); |
Now you can create new user with custom profile and populate his custom properties...
| Code Block |
|---|
|
UserProfile newUser = (UserProfile)bridge.CreateUser("John Doe", "Password", "office@doe.com", "", "", true, null) as UserProfile;
newUser.Age = "33";
bridge.Save(newUser); |
Or find existing ones and update them...
| Code Block |
|---|
|
UserList users = bridge.GetUserContainer(false);
UserProfile user = users.Children.OfType<UserProfile>().Where(u => u.Email == "john@doe.com").FirstOrDefault();
user.Age = "34";
bridge.Save(user); |
...
