With the Members API you can provide site members with a personal account area for social communities or non-social businesses. People who sign up to the Members Area get their own account where they can see all their information while getting to know other members. Members can choose if their account is private or public and set up their profile.
With the Members API you can:
- Create, delete, update a member.
- Get information about a member.
- Allow a current member to join or leave a community.
- Restrict abusive members by muting or blocking them.
- A site must have the Wix Members Area installed from the App Market.
There are 6 member types:
- Private: Only a Wix user can see this member.
- Public: Anyone can see this member.
- Blocked: A member that is suspended from entering the Members Area.
