External User Authentication and Registration

[nicholasnicola]

Hello,

I need a solution to be able to have the public visit my site, and create their own user accounts, passwords etc.

I'd then like to publish certain layouts and have the users use their supplied authentication information to view them.

How can I do this?

Thank you in advance for any help.

The "Add Account" script step is web compatible. Have users log in as a guest, then take them to a layout with global fields where they can enter a name and password and click a button. The script that the button runs must be set to run with full access privileges. You could also have the script log the user back in with the new account.

You'll need to set up a "created by" and/or "modified by" field that auto-enters Get(AccountName). Then set up access privileges where records are restricted by Get(AccountName) = the "created by" field. When users log in, you can do a Find in the ID field for "*" and it will automatically bring back only the records the user created.
