So i'm finishing off a project thinking this would be an easy bit to do at the end... seems i was wrong.

I have a site that has a special section for each member. I want to restrict access to that section to the specific member, created as a node in the member section.

THe only way i can see to achieve this in umbraco is to create a role for each member, assign only that member to that role, and then provide access to the sectiion to that role.  Seems like a truckload of work just to provide access to a single member.. has anybody made a workaround for this limitation (ie: ability to select which member has access to that page based on their membership rather than group)??

I have added a "linked member" id to the node (which i use for other things), and i guess i could use that to authenticate (make sure logged in member matches that linked id) but it feels a bit wrong.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks heaps :)
