Our organization is looking at using DNN for a rebuild of a client portal.  The out of box modules will save us a great deal of development time.  However, our needs are slightly more aggressive than what the module can do out of the box.  An example is with the Announcement Module.  When adding a new announcement we need the announcement to be only available to one or more groups.  So the results returned to the module from the database would be filtered based upon that person's group membership. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only way to implement this out of the box is to create a module for each distinct group and assign it to that group wholly.  So if creating an announcement for multiple groups you would have to enter it in as many times as there are distinct group modules.  This solution does not work for us.  Is my assumption correct for this module and others provided out of box?  Is there a best practice regarding the altering of out-of-box modules?  

Thanks,

Barry

I think your solution is by creating custom module with custom permission.

In DNN, you can create custom permissionn to act like what you want. Just dig from UserDefinedTable module as a sample.

HTH.
