Is a customer assigned to Admin
for the Associate to Website
in the admin supposed to be able to log in on the frontend? If not, what is this account for? I can't seem to log on with a customer I made in the admin with website association to admin
. This customer has website_id = 0
and store_id = 0
.
Some background:
I have a set of customer migrated by someone else, and all of them have website_id = 1
, which is correct, but the store_id
s are all set to zero. Subsequently, they show up having Admin
for their Associate to Website
value in the admin. This seems to have been done incorrectly, as I don't think you can get the combination of values website_id = 1
and store_id = 0
.
Can someone verify?

If you create a user via the admin section with
Associate to Website => Admin
. Then the following will be true:If you create a user via the admin section with
Associate to website => Some Store
. Then the following will be true.If under
System->Configuration->Customer Configuration->Account Sharing Options
you set this option to global than no matter what store the account was set-up on the user will be able to login. If you have this set to a website level then you can create more than one account with the same email address as long ass the associated websites are different.
