Hi Will,

Yes, I agree - keeping the public users in a clustered repo is the way to go. 
Just not in the main users repo, in my opinion!

My mail suggested storing the public users (and only the public users, not the 
other ones) in their own workspace, separate from the system and admin users.
In this way you can keep the public users clustered, and the system and admin 
users unclustered.

It was my impression that there are differences between the public user 
databases and the author user databases even in the default state, but maybe I 
am wrong on that. For us there certainly are differences now that we are using 
the system: we don't publish all our users, only the ones that are supposed to 
activate content. If you create a cluster over the users workspace, it will 
also mean all users are "instantly" published, so all users will have the same 
privileges on public and author systems (unless you define the roles 
differently, but that would be confusing!). But maybe one doesn't want one's 
editors to be able to log into the public system...
Also, as a general principle, I don't like the "smell" of the public user 
registration writing into the same workspace as the privileged users are stored 
in. It seems to me that security is better if these are separated, and the PUR 
never writes into the workspace that the author system is using to store its 
user infos...

Regards from Vienna,

Richard

Hi Richard

Can you elaborate a bit on why not storing users in a clustered repo? I get the 
argument about roles, but what can be different in the user node between author 
and public.

When you allow public users to update something in their profile, then have the 
need to reset their password (or anything alike it) you would overwrite their 
changes when you hold the user data in two separate repos and activate the 
users from author to public. In these cases I would say it makes a lot of sense 
to keep the public users in a clustered repo.
