You can add extra custom permissions to the module.  Check out the User Defined Table to see how this is done.

I am looking to add a few custom permissions to a module I am writing as well.  I have looked at the UserDefinedTable, and it's definatley doing what I want to do.  The trouble is, I am not able to acertain where in the code it's accomplishing this feat.  Could someone maybe outline the process briefly and which files are of interest?

Thanks.

Okay, I found it and will post it here for any of you who may have the same trouble.

The code is located in the Controller class inside a procedure called: InitPermissions()

This procedure only needs to run once though should be able to run many times and detect if the permissions have already been added or not.  In the case of the UserDefinedTable's implementation, they call the procedure upon the upgrade event.  I could not get this event to fire in my newly created module, so as a work around I call the InitPermissions proc from my instanciation procedure (public sub new).  I'd really rather not do this though because the function runs every time I create an instance of my class.

Could someone tell me what triggers the upgrade event to be fired so I can cause that to happen for my new module?  Or is there some other event that I could use to run this code on install?

Here's Vicenc Masanas's original blog entry regarding setting up custom permissions:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/1052/Custom-Module-Permissions-Enhance-your-modules.aspx

Note that in the new universal package installer introduced in DNN 5, it will be possible to create custom permissions simply by writing the appropriate elements in the .dnn manifest file.

Regarding the UpgradeModule callback, here's a very quick outline of what is necessary to have your custom code be called:

1. Implement the IUpgradable interface in your module's business controller class.

2. When the module is installed, the installer should correctly identify that IUpgradable is supported. If implementation of the IUpgradable interface is properly being detectedyou should be able to see that "Supported Features: Upgradable" is checked when examining the module's definition. If not, make sure that your module's business controller class is properly specified.

3. UpgradeModule will be called for each module version (greater than that currently installed) up to and including the current version PROVIDED THAT  a xx.xx.xx.SqlDataProvider file has been created for each version and is included as part of the module package. Even if no SQL update is required for a particular version, a blank xx.xx.xx.SqlDataProvider file must be present for UpgradeModule to be called for version xx.xx.xx of the module.
