Actually I host some clients on a SharePoint server (~30 websites) and I would like to migrate those websites on Umbraco.
Some website don't need users because it's just a "showcase website" (I think this is the right expression?) and others websites just need some users like editors, etc.
In Umbraco, I can separate those websites, it would be easy - I think - but the problem is: Can I do the same with users? The answer is yes and no. I can assign some users to a website and others users to another, great, same thing with administrators. But... administrators can see all the users on all websites. :(
I like to keep my clients separate so I would give each client their separate Umbraco installation. That way it would be much easier for them if they wanted to hire someone else to develop their site, change hosting partner, do an upgrade etc...
Yea that's probably the best solution, except if it's host on azure. :( 'cause one 1GB database = $9.99, so 30 db = ~$300/month and I would like to minimize my cost.
If I don't give the administrator right and put them in the same installation, I just keep one database of 10GB (It would be sufficient) and it's "just" $75.
And showcase site (English is not my first language as you can see :)) is not like demo site. On the website you show your company info with some text, images and a contact form, a basic static (mostly) website.
Website separation
Hi!

This problem was already post here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/ourumb-dev-forum/features/9136-Member-Groups-and-User-Groups-Finer-Control
So, to bypass this problem, I have 2 solutions:
What do you think? Did you already meet the same case?
Thanks :)

Showcase site, is that kind of like a demo site?

I found this post : http://waacceleratorumbraco.codeplex.com/discussions/254223 but it doesn't help me about the users separation. :/
