Hi,

I'm looking for some advice/help on the following scenario.  I simply want to create a Parent Portal with 3 Child Portals.

When a user logs on at the parent portal they get redirected and logged on to "their" child portal.

Will the following setup work?

For Example:

Parent Portal
- Adminstrator
- UserA
- UserB
- UserC

Child Parent A
- Adminstrator
- UserA

Child Portal B
- Adminstrator
- UserB

Child Portal C
- Adminstrator
- UserC

Adminstrator Account: Do I simply create the adminstrator account with the same username and password on the parent portal and child portals?

UserA, UserB and UserC Accounts:  Do I simple create the account for each user on the Parent Portal and create each user account on their specific child portals with the same username and password?

For eaxample:

Adminstrator is added to all Parent Portal and Child Portals A, B, C.

Only UserA is added to Child Portal A

Only UserB is added to Child Portal B

Only UserC is added to Child Portal C

Login

Parent Portal: Create a custom login module that appears on the parent portal that redirects the user based on login details to their child portal.

Child Portal: Use core Login Module for login so it is portal specific if user goes directly to http://www.domain.com/childA

Is there anything else I need to do?

That is exactly what I am trying to do as well. The security structure should be changed to allow for rights on the children to be inherited or unique just as pages on the main portal do. I realize that this is no simple effort and I certainly don't have the programming expertise to build it. Sharepoint does this and I wrongly assumed this would be an option in DNN as well. What I would like to see in DNN is the option for using the main portals user base when creating a child.

Apparently, folks who need to do this currently are using the Inventua Passthrough modules so that the parent portal users are replicated on the child portals. I have them installed but have but unable to get them to work.  You may have better luck with it though. See http://www.inventua.com/dnn-passthrough.content for the modules.

If you get it working, please reply back with exactly what you did so I can follow along!  :)
