Do you know Google?

  It will help you in many similar circumstances....


For the current circumstance, you can look at:

In principle, it does.

However, you may need some fiddling with CMF specific roles and permissions.
It is quite likely, that you must define the CMF roles sufficiently
up in the hierarchy such that they are known in your members folder.
(Of course, this assumes, the roles-permission mapping needs no change
across portals (in case you have several sharing on "Members" folder)).

In case, the "Members" folder can be acquired and has name "Members",
it might be sufficient to just delete the "Members" in your portal
(this would mean, you do not need an additional product).
