Hi, i am totaly new to DotNetNuke although i have great experience in web apps using c# .net 2003 and 2005. I want to add some new fields in the dnn created database table "Users" and access all the fields through a Users object, when the users logs into the system. But i seem to have difficulty in finding a way to access the dnn user, either as a class or as a session variable etc.
    I mean, since a user logs in, the application will probably have to know the logged user during the session. Is there any way to access the logged user, and even better is there any way to edit the dnn internal class?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, thanks a lot for the response. But i have to ask, is there any way to retrieve the logged user through the Session?

I mean that when the users logs into the system, the application has to keep the user details somewhere (i suppose the session would be a good practice) so that the application knows the user rights all the time. For example the application has to know when a page is accessible for a specific user, which is well dome through the dnn administration.

    But what about if i need to access the user that is logged in, through my code, for another reason, other than the page accessibility. For example, i want a page to be accessible to the user "testUser" for a limited period, or for a specific number of requests. In that case i have, let's say, 10 initial requests in a custom db table called UserServices and i want to decrease the requests ny one, each time the "testUser" logs in. So i have to access the UserID (from the Users DNN table) of the "testUser", find the corresponding record in the UserServices table and decrease the "requests" field by one.

Do you have any idea how i can do that...?

Thanks again for the responses!
