Is a customer assigned to Admin for the Associate to Website in the admin supposed to be able to log in on the frontend? If not, what is this account for? I can't seem to log on with a customer I made in the admin with website association to admin. This customer has website_id = 0 and store_id = 0.

Some background:

I have a set of customer migrated by someone else, and all of them have website_id = 1, which is correct, but the store_ids are all set to zero. Subsequently, they show up having Admin for their Associate to Website value in the admin. This seems to have been done incorrectly, as I don't think you can get the combination of values website_id = 1 and store_id = 0.

Can someone verify?

If you create a user via the admin section with Associate to Website => Admin. Then the following will be true:

  1. store_id = 0,
  2. website_id = 0,
  3. User wont be able to log into front end :(

If you create a user via the admin section with Associate to website => Some Store. Then the following will be true.

  1. store_id = 0,
  2. website_id = 1, where 1 is the id of the website under 'Associate to website'
  3. They will be able to log into the front end for that website.

If under System->Configuration->Customer Configuration->Account Sharing Options you set this option to global than no matter what store the account was set-up on the user will be able to login. If you have this set to a website level then you can create more than one account with the same email address as long ass the associated websites are different.

An order could be placed for that customer in the Admin, but not in the frontend.
