Roles, roles, roles
Hey is it posible o have a role for a user to only update the content? I don't want that user to change skins or to make other admin changes... up I think if you allow a role to edit contents on a module level he wont be able to change anything else. Did you try that? cheers, erikErik van Ballegoij, The Netherlands if you allow a role to edit contents in a module lets say discussions module, then that role will be able to edit, delete the threads. so for a role to be able to add new thread only, do we need to write our own code?-keeara g------------------ keeara, see...

Creating User Account Without Default Security Role (Registered User Role)
  My DNN version is 3.1.1. The portal is set to Private Registration. Unauthenicated users have access to the basic pages of the site. We require my company's current customers to register and be approved to have access to all other pages that contain information restricted to them (the major part of the site). As you know, authorizing a user account applys the Registered User security role by default and this is how I control access to the customer areas.  We want to create a page that will be used by Marketing to allow potential customers by login to...

Manage Users For This Role / Manage Roles For This User Question
In the roles/user management pages there is a link called Manage Users For This Role and Manage Roles For This User respectively. I want non Admins to be able to see these pages, and currently I have it so that they can see the manage users and manage roles pages. However, when a non admin clicks on Manage Users For This Role or Manage Roles For This User link it does not display the control, just an empty page. I can get around this by giving edit rights to the page, but I do not want them to have edit rights for the page. Any ideas? Thanks  ...

Populating roles and user/role mappings
I am using asp.net 2.0 and want to use role-based security using windows authentication and sqlserver.  I have setup my web.config to do this successfully and am able to add roles and user mappings via code.  However, at this point I don't want to build a page that allows the maintenance for this because I want to get this website done quickly, so I just want to input the roles and user mappings intially and have them stored in the database.  When the website is up, I will have to add users from time to time and possibly modify user/role mappings as w...

Membership and Roles
Hi all, Is there a way to allow the user choose a role from a selection you provide them with? e.g. I have 3 types of users: admin, contractor, and landlord. Of course I don't want them to be able to assign themselves admin role, so how would I proceed? (I'm using C# by the way) This is what I have so far. Please note "Roles...();" is where I am stuck: -within my aspx page i have: <asp:WizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep2" runat="server" Title="Contractor or Landlord?"> <asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat=&q...

Security administration, assign a role to the role domain
Hi, Should that be possible or not? Looking at the GUI it should but I get "Failed to create 1 role assignment request(s). You are unauthorized for this operation.". A work around is to create a group but why involve a group when all users that should be able to assign members to specific roles already are in a role for those administrators? Best regards, Tobias Tobias, It appears that in the past few days you have not received a response to your posting. That concerns us, and has triggered this automated reply.

Greetings, What do the check boxes public role and auto assign under security roles mean and how does one use them? Thanks in advance, Dave Public role means that users can choose to "join" those roles by selecting the checkboxes for those roles at the bottom of their user profile page. Auto Assign assigns new registered users to that particular role automatically. HTH JeremyJeremy WhiteWebstone, LLCMy DNN Blog...

Regarding Roles and $?ROLE
Hello all. I have some questions about how Roles will behave in certain instances, and when/where/what $?ROLE should be bound too. 1) Given this example, where 'bar' is a method stub (no implementation) role Foo { method bar { ... } } Should the eventually implemented method still have a binding for $? ROLE? 2) When a Role itself has subroles, which are composed together and consumed by the parent Role, how is $?ROLE bound? is it the top-most Role which it is bound too? or is it bound to the Role it originally came from? Here is an example: role F...
