I am currently investigating Dot Net Nuke 6 as a CMS solution for a new project , I have a requirement that I need to be able to configure skins on a role basis , and when the user that falls under a respective  role logs in  , then the respective skin should load up at runtime. Its a must have for this project and if I cannot achieve this then DNN would not be a solution for us.

There are 3 thing you can do.

A. Create a clone of a page and give one role acces to one page and the other role another page.
Both pages can have the same (cloned) content, but a different skin.

B. If the different between the Roles skins is only CSS and not the HTML of the skin you can use a (free) extension we created that lets you load a style sheet for a specific role.

C. There are ways to dynamically load the skin based on all kinds of properties, but you would have to add some .NET code to your skin.

Both pages can have the same (cloned) content, but a different skin. - This will have too much maintainenace overhead

http://www.40fingers.net/WeblogsNews/... -    - I am not sure how this can do a CSS per role , could you please explain a bit more.

C. There are ways to dynamically load the skin based on all kinds of properties, but you would have to add some .NET code to your skin.

Ok, I corrected the link at C.

With our 40FINGERS Style Helper skin object you would load the individual CSS files using the IfRole Filter.

Load a stylesheet for administrators
<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="FFSH1" IfRole="Administrators" AddCssFile="css/Admin.css" runat="server" />

Load a stylesheet for Role1
<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="FFSH2" IfRole="Role1" AddCssFile="css/Role1.css" runat="server" />

Load a stylesheet for everybody but administrators
<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="FFSH1" IfRole="!Administrators" AddCssFile="css/NotAdmin.css" runat="server" />

You can also use multiple comma separated roles BTW; IfRole="Role1,Role2,Role3"
