Hi all,

Is it possible to give users permissons to modules e.g. anncoucment module so they can add and delete annoucnments but not be able to add other modules to that page (hide the add module functions that appear at the top of the page in dotnetnuke)? If the answer is YES can some please let me know how to do it.

 

Cheers

Skips,

Yes, absolutely.

Modules have individual view / edit settings.  So, let's say you want someone to edit the Announcements module, but like you said, not add/edit/delete other modules on the same page.

You need to:

1. Under Security Roles [Admin > Security Roles] for your portal, "Create New Role" that your annoucements module editor will take.  You will probably need a new role, b/c the existing Admin role is too broad for this operation.

2. Update the User's Roles in user administration on your portal to include the new role created above, so that user is added to that security group.

3. Edit the module that you desire this person or user group to have edit privileges on.  That is, A) Add the module to the page, B) Hover over the little triangle on that module, Select Settings.  When in the settings view, Under Module Settings > Basic Settings, check the box in the Edit Module column next to the security role you created in step 1 above.  This way, the user accounts that have the, let's say, Edit Announcements role, will be able to add/update/delete announcements only within that particular module, leaving you with full Admin rights on the page itself.

Feel free to reply with more questions.

Regards,

Create a role (i.e. Announcement Admin).  Add the user to that role. 

Under the Module settings, uncheck the 'Inherit from page' box. 

Then check the roles you wish to have View permissions and check Edit permissions for the Announcement Admin role.

To clarify wallew's statement above.  It is not necessary to uncheck the "Inherit View Permissions from Page" if the page is already viewable to your users.

I have followed your instructions. Users are now able to edit the annocuments and cannot see the menu at the top of the page which is what I want, but they cannot add new annocunments. I want them to be able to add new annoucments.

(Is there a way to block users editng annoucment of other users but still being able to post, add and edit their annoucments?)

Thanks,

skips
