One of my QA guys had a bit of a weird occurrence today (which I verified). He was using a normal user account which only has permission to see a limited set of files in DMX, a file was deleted (this may or may not be relevant) and afterwards he could see all the DMX files on the site. These increased permissions were persistent across multiple logins and logouts and on different computers. About an hour after the phenomena started it stopped. Comparing what parts of the application the user could access with the code it seems that Bring2mind.DNN.Modules.DMX.Security.DMXUser.IsInGodMode was evaluating to true well DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.IsSuperUser was evaluating to false. I thought that these 2 properties were equivalent, but it doesn't seem that way, so my question is how is "God Mode" defined in DMX? Running DMX 4.2.3 if it matters.

Hi Allan, 'God mode' was a term to pull Admin and Host together. It stems back to DMX 3. Please let me know if you can repeat this on the most recent DMX. It sounds like a caching issue of some sort. I'll run through this part of the code again, but I believe this can't happen on recent versions of DMX. Just another question on this: did he log in under an admin/host account prior to testing the regular user account? Peter

Thanks for looking into it Peter. I've upgraded to 4.3.1 now (just in time to see 4..3.2 is out!) and I'll let you know if we see this behaviour again. I think we can assume he logged in as and admin before testing the regular user account.

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.
