Hi,

My problem is the following :

I have two tabs in my portal : "page1" only visible to role "role1" ,and "page2" only to "role2".

Saying we have also two users : "user1" belonging to "role1" and "user2" belonging to "role2".

Now if I open a new window and log in as "user1" > everything is ok, I can only access "page1".

Then I leave the first window opened, and I open another new window and log in as "user2" > ok, only "page2" in the menu, great.

Now if I come back to the first window and refresh it, I am still logged in as "user1" BUT the only page I see is "page2", which apparently means that both windows work with the same role's context.

So I am asking you the question : what could I do to avoid this, and work in two separate windows with two separate roles contexts ?

I am using 04.09.00 version and the default authentication provider ("DNN").

Thanks in advance for your help. I spent the day on it but for now I am stuck... :(

Thanks for your answer dmeiser.

The workaround of multiple browser can't do the job unfortunately. In fact the goal of my project is to have a main window logged in as "manager" for instance, have a list of users, and click on an item to open a new window (same kind of browser of course...) logged in as this user ; keeping my main "manager" window in the background.

To achieve this my first test was the one I described in the first email of the thread. And I still can't believe this can't be done.

What I found really strange is that I really have 2 different users logged in 2 separate windows, unfortunately sharing the same f... roles.

I don't know...  You're attempting to do something with DNN that i was never designed to do.  The way I understand it is that the cookies are there to keep logged in and with the correct permissions.  If you modify the cookies, my guess is that you'll lose the security distinctions after a few page changes.
