This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to create a Member Page post type and allow Users to create their own Member Page post. How can I link Users and Member Page posts?
Solution: When a User submits a Form to create a Member Page post, they will be the author of that post automatically. You can use the Member Page post as a proxy for the User, and connect it to other posts using Toolset's post relationships.

HOW CAN I LINK the allready registered users to the MEMBER PAGES?
One way you can link Users and posts is to make the User the author of their own Member Page. This article describes the process:
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-create-custom-searches-and-relationships-for-users/
After the User registers, you can redirect them to a page on the site that contains a Form to create Member Page posts. That Form can have just one button "Create Member Page" or something similar. That Form will create a Member Page post, and the User will be the author of that post. Then you can use a View to hide the form from that User (see FAQ #1 for more information about this).
HOW CAN I set certan conditions for different users?
We offer the Access Control shortcodes to handle conditions based on different User roles. Please see here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/access-control/access-control-texts-inside-page-content/
Does this answer your question? If not, I need some additional detail.
(i cannot find the possibility to choose different user roles...when creating the custom fields...)
When you create a User field group, you have the option to check individual roles where this field group will be visible in wp-admin. See the screenshot attached here. Is this what you had in mind?
