I work for a school district and am experimenting with DNN.  I have it up and installed, working like a champ.  The problem I forsee is that I want to enable my teachers to update thier own pages and only thier own pages.  I know I need to give them editing capabilities, but that will allow them to edit more than just a single page.  Is there some control or plug in that will allow me to manage users and restrict them to only edit one specific page or pages I give them access to?

Thanks

The only way to handle it is definitely the way k4gdw suggested.  Unfortunately, you can only assign permissions to a pge based on roles, not specific users.  The only other alternative I would suggest would be to search snowcovered to find a module that allows you to control the type of content you want to show based on user.  As far as I know, most modules follow DNN's approach which is to define permissions strictly by role.

This brings up a bigger question though.  I think the way DNN handles roles/security needs to be improved.  The permission should not be so directly tied to a user or a role.  The 'permission key' should be a seperate entity that allows access to something.  Then, a role or a user can be assigned to that key.  User / Role / Permission should be three seperate entities.  I think the inability to control permissions down the the specific user is a definite issue.  I have run into problems with it myself, as well as had customers come to me independently complaining about it.

Does anyone know of a possible alternate membership/role provider that does this?
