We licensed version 4 a few monghts ago. After initial setup, we finally got a chance to really get into the features of the module. We have noticed that users can only upload files to Document Exchange 4 when logged in as a portal administrator. I have seen references to extensibility where we could build a way to determine a user's ability to add, but we feel a document exchange module should already allow assigning "Add" permission to non-portal administrators. I hope we just missed something obvious, but if not, do you ahve plans to build native capability to assign users / groups the ability to add files without being a portal admin?

Hi Rob, Yes, the solution is quite simple. Create a folder that has the right permission set for you. The 'root' is a virtual folder that is only for admins. As you can place a DMX instance somewhere and make it start at a given place in the folder tree, you can best manage your DMX installation by beginning to set up the base folders for your site complete with the permissions you want on those folders. Then, if necessary, you create the various DMX instances that you want and set them to point to these folders. Of course you can opt to keep the DMX instances pointing to the root as well. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
