Conceptually, the is what I want to accomplish.  I work in a K12 environment.  We are moving our district website to DNN this summer.  We need:

District web site
District intranet
each school needs their own site
teacher website for teacher pages

AD login for all sites, with permissions set per site.  For example, a teacher will likely need to be able to login to the teacher website to have her own web page, log in to the intranet to get internal district information, but have no login rights on the other sites.  Someone else might need the same security rights as Teacher A, but also need edit rights to one specific school site.  I don't want to maintain 26 different user libraries.  I would like to have one user library and set permissions accordingly by assigning users to roles or whatever way is most efficient.

SO... in order to accomplish this environment in DNN, should i have the District website, and then all other sites as Child Portals?  What is the best solution here?  Is the security/login/maintenance expectation realistic with DNN?  I am on DNN 4.0.2.

Thank you for your help/suggestions!

I think your on the right track and your expectation is realistic. Go to http://www.dotnetnukhouston.com. The organizer of this user group is dstruve on the message boards here. He is very DNN savvy and has basically already done what your looking to do for a local Houston school district including free DNN software on the site above that allows teachers to create and set up their own portals. He would probably be a good resource for you and can be contacted through the web site above

Thanks!  It looks like that really is what I want, depending on the set up and security etc.  I would really like to talk to Daniel.  I am looking all over the Houston DNN User Group site and am not seeing his contact information.  If you know him (are you Paul D on that site?), please have him reply and let me know how to contact him!  Thank you so much!
