In this tutorial we demonstrate the new features for working with the security roles in DotNetNuke versions 4.3+ and 3.3.
DotNetNuke 4.3 / 3.3 provides new facilities for managing the security roles in your DotNetNuke portal more easily.
This tutorial demonstrates how to setup and use security role groups, how to use the new features for managing users in a security role, as well as working with the new RSVP code feature which allows users to automatically sign up to multiple security roles. (A great time saving device for users and administrators of your DNN portal).
