Hi,

I'm working on a DNN 4.7 site. We intend to allow several people to create pages. On those pages certain modules should appear throughout the site. I can do this by setting the appropriate flag on the page that holds the master for that module. On this masterpage I also restrict access to that module so that other users can see, but not edit that module. The problem Im facing' now is that on newly created pages by other users those settings at the module level appear to be overruled.

If a user can edit a page, he can also edit all (inherited) modules on that page despite any security settings.

I also tested this scheme on a DNN 5.0 site. Same story. Although I can explicitly deny edit rights to a module, the fact that the user can edit the page still seems to overrule the module's settings.

Is there any way to avoid or change this behaviour?

Sebastian,

Thanks for your comments. I will look into the skinning approach.

I'm not sure about what you mean with 'intelligent skin objects'. Is that some special breed of modules or what? Or is it possible to turn regular modules into skinning objects?
