Is it possible to log in on the front-end site using CMS User accounts (Xperience by Kentico develop

Environment

  • Xperience by Kentico version: [30.8.1]
  • .NET version: [8|9]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on an Xperience by Kentico project, and I’d like to enable front-end login using the existing CMS User accounts (the same ones used for the Xperience admin interface).

Is it possible to authenticate users on the live site using those CMS user credentials, or do I need to create a separate identity setup (e.g., membership users or custom authentication)?

If possible, what’s the recommended approach or API to handle login and authentication with CMS Users on the front-end site?

Thanks in advance!
