This webinar examines user management and security in Sitefinity.
Out of the box, Sitefinity empowers you to easily manage CMS users and roles. However, there are alternatives to the default user management provided by Sitefinity. Sitefinity can also integrate with an organization’s Active Directory. In addition, an entirely custom membership provider can be created and applied to Sitefinity. In this webinar, we’ll explore various strategies for managing Sitefinity’s users and roles.
