Hello All,

I wanted to get a better understanding - or more accurately, I wanted to confirm some of my assumptions - about users vs super users.

I see that users are added in the user portal table and also the user roles table.  I see that super users are not.
I also see that super users have the superuser flag turned on.

If I want to switch a super user to being a normal user, can I just make two inserts and then remove the superuser flag?

Or is there a GUI means to 'demote' or promote a user?

Thanks fro any advice,

Mark

Hello STÉPHANE

Thanks for your reply.

the purpose of my question was that I have a user and I would like to make her a normal user of the site.  Probably also an admin.

So I was considering inserted a record for her into userportals and also the appropriate records into userroles.  Finally, I guessed that it would be good practice to turn off the superuser flag in the users table.

My question is - do you think that is enough?  

The reason I asked about the GUI was just in case I was unaware of a premote / demote feature, although I did not expect it.

I know it is messy and I could ask the user to simply re-register with a different email and username but that is a PITA so it I can just make her normal site admin with a few inserts it would be neater,

thanks again for your free time,

Mark

Hi Cathal

Greetings from Kildare.

yes, I know the SuperUser UI, I use that also.  thanks for your response.

Changing the topic ever so slightly...but still on user, portals and roles

I am experimenting with a site for a large Irish organisation, and I am considering adding in another 10 to 50 portals to that site.  I want to share users with portal 0, and so far, through testing, I see no immediate issues with inserting one record in userportals and two records into userroles for each additional portal I want to give the user access to.  

Do you know if many other sites are doing this with DNN?  Visualise that portal is sort of like a headoffice and the other portals are sub offices with their own sites, but sharing common information including usernames.

I could be talking about 10k to 20k users with subsets of users liked to one or two other portals.

Thanks

Mark






thanks
