Assigning Security Roles to Pages and Modules in DotNetNuke

By Lee Sykes
September 2005

This DotNetNuke video tutorial focuses on working with Security roles and applying them to the settings of Pages and Modules.

In the video we walk through setting up the various security permissions for use on a music website. We setup the website so that it has a private members only section available to download mp3s.

The video covers

Home Page:
  • How to:
  • Allow all users to view the page
  • Assign home page administrators to edit the introduction text on the Text / HTML module, but not have access to the Links module
MP3 Downloads Page:
  • How to:
  • Allow all users to view the page
  • Allow MP3 examples to be downloadable by all users
  • Assign the account login module, so that it only displays when a user is not logged in
  • Assign a members only text module, set so that it only displays when a user is logged in
MP3 Members Only Page:
  • How to:
  • Allow only registered users access to view the page when they are logged in
Time Length: 11min 16secs
