Hi,

It seems that you configured FBA with SharePoint 2010 so to create a New User Account check this source

Hi Fadi,

Thanks for your reply.

But my requirements are firstly how/where to add new user's details like email id, password...

And then how to add that new user to site user groups.

I know to add the user to site user groups using "Peoples and groups" in site settings,  but for that i don't know how/where to add that new user details.

Will you please help me on this. And also the same can be able to do through programmatically using c# code.

Regards,

Hi,

1- first you have to determine the user repository : Active Directory or FBA membership Database

2- then you can write a code to create users in AD or Database

Answer 4

To elaborate on what Fadi has stated, and assuming you're using an AD model.  You (or possibly a system administrator) would create the user account in active directory.   This is where all the details would be stored such as username and email etc.  Once the user is created in AD, the users would be selectable from the People Picker when browsing "People and Groups".

There are 3rd party workflow applications that can facilitate in the creation of user accounts from within SharePoint but these come at a cost.

Answer 13

The artilce Fadi posted details a sample, which uses PrincipalContext to manage accounts in a domain. But in fact, PrincipalContext can work with a local host(local machine, or lusrmgr.msc as you mentioned)
