This cookbook provides sample code to introduce Sitecore APIs that support common security requirements, such as user management, authentication, authorization, and user profile management. This document provides an overview of concepts rather than describing every API used. Sitecore provides detailed descriptions of API methods in the API documentation.  For the reader’s convenience, this document describes some security APIs provided by the ASP.NET framework, but not abstracted in any way by Sitecore.
