I am wanting to add some of my own custom pages to the umbraco interface. How do I go about retrieving information about the current umbraco user? I had a look around the umbraco namespace and found the userTasks class, but I'm not sure if this is what I need.

Take a look at umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() and :HasAccess() and :IsProtected(). Those will let you know if a page should be viewable to a *MEMBER*.

Remember that "users" are those that can log in to umbraco's user interface. Whereas "members" are those who have a profile on the public website and might also be able to "login" to the website itself to see protected content. But members can not log in to the umbraco interface itself.

As for getting member details, check the umbraco.library:GetCurrentMember() and :GetMember() and :GetMemberName().

cheers,
