 Hello,

I have an application that I would like to have the menu show up only for certain roles.  i.e. public sees page with no menus, logged in users matching a role would see the menu.

I know I could create a set of links in an HTML or use a links module, but is there a way to have the regular menu system appear only for certain roles?

Thanks.

You can do that simply by setting the permissions of the pages.  Each page that a registered (logged in) user should see would have the "Registered User" checkbox checked in the View column of the page settings.  All DNN menus will then hide those pages when visitors are not logged in.

 This doesn't solve the problem I'm trying to solve.  I want the PAGES to be visible to everyone.  I want people to go directly to the pages.  But I don't want the menu to be visible to everyone, just for registered users.

Gotcha. That's kind of a unique use case...

You are going to need to find a 3rd party menu provider that allows that.  None come to mind that would solve your use case though. Sorry.

 Guess I will just fake it with an HTML module, only visible to registered users, a table an links.  Don't like the fact that I will have to manually update it, but oh well!  Thanks for the replies, anyway.
