All of what you are looking to do is possible with the AO API, and doesn't require much to modify my code to get what you are looking for. >is there a way to put an “expiration date’ with a user, so that after a certain period of time, say 1 year, their user name will not work? Currently there is not an API function to set an expiration date, but it wouldn't be hard to setup a program, using the API to automatically remove access for the user. Good luck. Sounds cool Sam.

Good luck.

I am in my 30 day free AO time. This self-registration is interesting. We want to pay for people to enter our potential AO site, but we also want some authentication. When they self-register, we want to ensure that this person is actually a customer of ours. Once authenticated, another window should come up as some kind of confirmation that they must agree to and states that they will be billed the $X. If they confirm, we would want not only an email sent to them, but also to our Finance department as a way of letting them know to get a PO to the customer. The customer can get in before paying, but they should understand that the PO will be sent. Also - is there a way to put an "expiration date' with a user, so that after a certain period of time, say 1 year, their user name will not work? Thanks Dave, Sam Hi Dave – this is very interesting.
