I have a portal I am setting up on our local intranet and have AD authentication set up within my version of DNN (4.7) and it works great.  What I want to do now is set up limitatios on who can and cannot login to this site.  Right now there are about 20 people who should have access, in the future (month and a half or so) there will be about 200.  I do not know much about AD, which is the reason I ask.  I also need to work out the people who have admin access within AD do not have admin access within the portal. 

Any suggestions?

I can't think of a way to limit who in the AD can login or who can't though I had some surgery today so I'm a little groggy.  You could though set security on the modules so that only a certain group can see them.

As far as admin rights on the portal. Administrators have to be defined in the portal. It's the only role that will not be automatically populated.

Thanks for being a trooper Mike!  Hope the surgery went well and it wasn't life threatening.

What I think I am understanding is I need to set up the 200 or so people in a specific group and give that group access to all the pages or portal, and deny the rest, correct?  Bad part is this is still a pretty manual process to add the users, any way to automate it?

The surgery was just to remove some torn cartlidge from my knee and all went well. Thanks for asking.

You're understanding correctly. I was going to say you could run a SQL script but it would be a pain. I think the best way would be to create an AD Security group and a corresponding DNN role and use the synchronization option in the Authentication settings.

Once again my lack of knowledge with AD is going to show; I took a look at our domain and the actual group of people is down about 4 levels deep.  (Domain>Group>Sales>SalesReps) So would my group be called exactly the same as the last group or how would that be set up in DNN?  Do you have any good reading (books or posts) which I could reference?
