This page will be the title page of the Members section. We will base it on the _StarterTemplate page template created in this chapter. Besides the web parts from this page template, the page will contain two Users viewer web parts in the zoneCenter web part zone. The first one will be displaying the 6 most active users of the site. The second one will be displaying all site users, with the pager enabled and 9 records by page. In zoneRight, there will also be the On-line users web part showing who is currently on-line.
If you right-click a user in of of the Users viewer, you will be offered some actions by a context menu. This functionality is provided in the transformation and here, you can find a description of how exactly it is achieved.

9. The page is now finished. In Design tab, it should look as in the following screenshot. Obviously, because there are no users on the site yet, only the Administrator is displayed by the viewers. However, you may try creating a few users via the administration interface or registering on-site. You will see the new users listed on this page.
