Hi,

 

I am new to DNN. Can you explain me the concept of Portals and how the portal id is tied to the login and the modules?

 

Please do reply soon.

Thanks in advance

A DotNetNuke installation may host multiple mostly independent web sites, called portals, which share the same code and modules definitions (except those set to premium and not assigned to a specific portal), but have individual design, roles and users*  as well as all content (i.e. module instances).

* except the username can only exist once in an installation and a user may sign up to other portals only with same password.

In terms of the role of the PortalId, it is used to associate Tabs to a specific portal, which then associate specific module instances.

Users are associated to a portal based on the userid and portalid stored as entries into the UserPortals table
