User Accounts
Authorize and Manage Security Roles for Administrators
As an Administrator for your DNN Portal (Website) you are responsible to manage users and the roles they have within the site. Administrators can add a user to a role to give the user the permissions given to the role. With Active Directory Authentication, the first time a new user enters your DNN site, DNN will assign them
Security Roles
of “
Registered Users
” and “
Subscribers
”.
You will need to assign one or several pre-defined Security Roles on your site. They will also be assigned with these Security Roles also (eg: League Administrator) if the existing Security Role is included in a
Administrator
Security Role.
Until you authorize the user, they will only have view access to your DNN Site, and the first time they log in, they will not have any of the editing tools available.
Note:
Each administrator must have a unique User Account as an administrator. This must be a separate account from their personal or team account.
