In this tutorial we demonstrate how to configure which modules a non-administrator can add to a page.

In previous tutorials we have demonstrated how you can setup premium modules so that specific modules are only available to certain portals and we have also demonstrated how to limit access to administrator modules in DotNetNuke 5.

In this tutorial we walk you through how to configure which modules a non-administrator can add to a page. This applies to user where you have given them edit permissions for a page, but they do not have full administration access privileges. In DotNetNuke 5, we can select which modules a user can add to a page based on their security roles.
