Thank you for your reply, but I don't understand.
I've already activated integration between K2 and CB so in the CB profiles I can see the articles created in the back-end, but now how to create an article in the front-end?

In Menu there are not an item to add an article but only an item to modify an article.
So, if I login from CB both K2 and I select this item menu in the my User Menu, Joomla shows a 404 error.

If instead I login with K2, then I see in the K2 menu an item "Add new article" and with this I'm able to open a popup where to write the article with categories, images, extra fields, etc.

Where I wrong?

Furthermore I see now that new users registered with CB are not present in the K2 User list. Initially I created this list with "Copy from Joomla", and now?
Is this another problem or a symptom of a bad integration?

Tanks again.

I don't know. We are not K2 developers. Please contact them for support. I assume you create a Joomla menu link to a new article K2 menu link and click that.

You need to set K2 to integrate with CB in their configuration. I am not aware of needing to use K2 login or userlist as they use the same _users table as CB. If you need to pass data to K2 at CB registration you can do so with CB Auto Actions in a query action.

If K2 integration is activate you just need to use the cb login.

Evidently there are some other configuration problem because I am able to write articles only after a K2 login.
Thanks

You mean that there is a K2 URL that only works when you login using K2 login module and does not work when you login using CB Login module?

I'm newbie in K2, but are two weeks that I'm reading in several forums about this problem.

When I login by "K2 Login Module", under my avatar/username it is showed 4 new links: Add new item, My page, My account, Moderate comments to my published items

With the first link a user can add an article (named "item" in K2 terminology) in the frontend.

If I login by "CB Login module" obviously these links are not showed and if I want to write an article I must do it in backend.

With the K2 option "CB Integration" I have CB avatar in K2 and the K2 articles in CB profile, but I don't see nothing to write article.

Repeat, I'm newbie in K2, but I'm sure about this.
Then, obviously I can wrong and so I'm asking some help about how resolve this problem because I cannot give to more than 600 CB users the access to backend.
