Have I missed something?  I assumed that a site admin user should be able to upload skins.  That doesn't appear to be possible?

Why not?

To answer the question: this is a setting that can be configured on the host settings page.

Also, I found some discussion of this in Cathal Connelly's blog at DotNetNuke.com. This "feature" will be removed in DotNetNuke 5.x because it is considered a security issue. As skins can contain executable code, allowing site administrators to upload skins allows them to also upload malicious code.

Yes the whole install section has been redone - only host will now have access for installing. Skins now have manifest files like modules and you can upload a whole skin package which contains skin files and the skin objects, so you only have to give end user one file to upload and it all takes care of itself. - was still buggy in demo I saw at openforce but maybe fixed by time u see it in Nov
