Hi,

I'm developing a module in which I have a table where I store the UserID besides a value e.g.

UserID Field1
1 aaa
1 bbb
2 ccc
4 ddd

In my module I retrieve values from the table using the UserID  e.g.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE UserID = 1

Essentially I want to retrieve the same values irrespective of what instance of the module I'm using in a portal.

During testing I created two Portals called PortalA and PortalB and I created a user in each with the same registration details (i.e. the same username, firstname...email address etc.).

When I created an instance of my module in PortalA and PortalB and logged in using the credentials of this new user I was suprised to see that I saw the same values in both portals. For example, If I logged in to PortalA and added an entry I'd also see it when I logged into PortalB.

Furthermore, if I changed the name of the user in one portal it is reflected in the other.

I thought each portal and its users were independent of one another?

In DNN what is user uniqueness based on?

Is the UserID field the correct way to uniquely identify a user within a portal?

Thanks,

Norman

Thanks Eric,

I just have to remember that when developing my module.

You will need to inlcude PortlId in your queries as User records are shared across portals if they use the same username and password to register.  There is a UserPortals table you should take a look at.
