CRUD operations with user profiles

The user profile wraps the user and stores additional information such as first name, last name, avatar, etc. When creating a user, you must also create a user profile. The user profiles in Sitefinity CMS are represented by the Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.SitefinityProfile class.

The SitefinityProfileclass inherits the UserProfileclass, which is used as base class when creating custom user profile implementations.

The SitefinityProfileclass exposes the following properties for storage of additional user-related information:

  • About
    Represents a descriptive text about the user.
  • Avatar
    Represents the image used as the user’s avatar. For more details, see the Setting user’s avatar example.
  • FirstName
    Represents the user’s first name.
  • LastName
    Represents the user’s last name.
  • User
    Represents an instance of the user that the profile belongs to.

To manage the user profiles, use the Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.UserProfileManager class.
