Authentication and user management API

Sitefinity CMS is a system with a focus on extensibility. You can develop your own custom modules and widgets, and in more complicated scenarios, you would also need to provide them with the same security capabilities as built-in Sitefinity CMS modules. You can implement your own classes to support permissions, access control and configuration for your module. This section is going to cover all those custom development scenarios in their needs for security.

This section will cover what user accounts are, and how they are used in Sitefinity. Sitefinity CMS stores information about users in its own database, and the section explains how you can gain access to this account information

This section will cover what roles are, how they relate to users, and how they are stored in Sitefinity. It will also explain the Roles API that you can use to programmatically gain access to the roles in Sitefinity.
