I know users who are registered to use my site are automatically able to use bbpress. I dont understand the technical details. Do I need to install a another login page when installing bbpress or can registered users just go ahead and post etc. Would appreciate someone setting out the steps for me … thanks.

when they first log on they are allocated the default role that you set in dashboard>settings>forums.

you can use the bbpress logon widget in a sidebar, use the shortcode [bbp-login] on a page or post, use any wordpress logion plugin or technique, or add a login to your menu using
