This add-on provides a new content-types PloneUser for representing a user in Plone through a dedicated content-type. The motivation for this add-on is the need for maintaining user profiles a content in order to make them referencable from other content.

The PloneUser provides the standard fields like fullname, email organization, a member picture etc. and a dedicated view.

The add-on also contains some ideas borrowed from collective.onlogin with configurable redirections to a user's PloneUser object directly after the first login after registration or after each login.

zopyx.usersascountent is designed as a lightweight alternative to Membrane & Co.

The add-on provides a control panel Users As Content.
