Wix Members area provides site members with a personal account area for social communities or non-social businesses. Members can choose if their account is private or public and set up their profile.

Blocked - this member can not log-in to the site.

Pending - this member has requested to join the site and is waitng for approval.

Private - this member's data is available only to themselves and the site owner.

Public - this member's data is available to all.

Muted - this member may not perform social actions on this site (write/like/comment on posts, etc.).

Active - this member may perform social actions on this site (write/like/comment on posts, etc.).

Fieldset in query defines how much data the endpoint will return.

PUBLIC - Default fieldSet. Request with this fieldSet value returns: ID and profile object (status, privacyStatus and activityStatus will return with UNKNOWN values).

FULL - Complete data fieldSet. Request with this fieldSet value returns: ID, status, contact object, profile object, privacyStatus, activityStatus, createdDate and updatedDate.

This article shares a possible use cases your app could support, as well as an example flow that could support the use case. You're certainly not limited to the use case, but it can be a helpful jumping off point as you plan your app's implementation.

Your app can create site members without the member signing up directly on the site. This allows site owners to create members in bulk or to import members from another site.

To do this, your app can follow this basic flow:

1. Create the list of members or get the list of members from the external site. Structure the list as an array of member objects, and make sure each member has a login email address:

   Copy Code
   {
     "member": {
       "loginEmail": "member_needs_an@email.com",
       "contact": { ... },
       "profile": { ... }
     }
   }

2. Iterate over the array, calling Create Member for each member. To keep below rate limits, set your requests at least 1 second apart.

3. To tell the members about their new accounts, use Send Set Password Email (in the Authorization API). Your app can trigger the email immediately after creating the member, or you can let the site owner choose to send the email later. If the email is triggered later, your app should iterate over an array of the member email addresses, calling Send Set Password Email for each email.
