Security is one of the key features of Kentico CMS. Kentico CMS uses its own security system that is based on the standard ASP.NET security features and it also offers an ASP.NET 2.0-compatible membership provider.
Authentication
Kentico CMS supports both Forms and Windows authentication. You can have the system import user accounts from Windows domain or Active Directory automatically. Moreover, you can write your own authentication provider that will import user information from external database.
Authorization (Permissions)
You can grant users permissions for particular modules and for particular documents or site sections. It means you're not limited to some predefined roles.
Content Personalization
You can also control the access rights of the site visitors. You can create secured site sections that are only accessible by registered members. The members can be displayed with personalized navigation and content based on their permissions, so you can display for example different menu items and content to silver and gold partners in the partners section of your web site.
