[TYPO3] Adding BE users to FE groups

[Robert Markula]

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your reply, but I just looked again at the english&german 
archives, other Typo3 boards and google, but was not able to find an answer.
Most of the answers I found (and two of your extensions) deal with 
enabling a FE user BE access (at least through FE-editing).

I need it the other way around: Existing BE users should be able to go 
to some page in my website, fill in a login form using their BE 
username&password, and be able to login to access restricted pages.

I just want them to be able to view these restricted pages like any 
other regular FE user. They must not change contents on this page, as 
they don't have access to these pages in the BE either.

This way I want to avoid that our users have to remember two different 
usernames und passwords (one for their BE activities and one for their 
regular FE access to restricted pages).

Is this possible?

Cheers,
Ro
