In this video we are going to Define what a Member is in Umbraco 8. Now that we know this we can define Members as, an external person who has a profile on your website. Members are distinct from Umbraco Users, meaning that a Member does NOT have access to the Umbraco back-office. Members give an identity to your site visitors. If you want your visitors to be able to register or login we talk about Members. Now that we know the distinction between Users and Members, in the next episode we will go over how to add members from the back office. Thanks for reading.
