Frontend user API
In TYPO3, frontend users (FE users) are responsible for accessing restricted
content and personalized areas of a TYPO3 website. They are stored in the
fe_ database table
and authenticated via the frontend.user request attribute
(class
\TYPO3\).
The frontend user id and groups are available from the User aspect (Context API).
The system extension typo3/cms-felogin offers a plugin that can included in the page so that frontend users can login and logout. It also features a password-forgotten workflow.
The TYPO3 Core does not provide a plugin to register frontend users. There are multiple third-party extensions available in the TER, for example evoweb/sf-register .
