We integrate a quality management system with DMX. The security/access control in the quality management system is role and context based, ie each user is assigned one or more roles (like DNN roles) in one or more contexts (contexts are organisational units). We would like to apply the same access control in DMX. One possible solution would be to apply the DNN "Role Group". One "Role Group" for roles and one "Role Group" for Context. Each user would then be assigned one or more roles and one or more contexts like in our quality management system. Folder/document access rights would be based on these DNN roles. A user's access to a folder/document would be based on the logical test that the user is member of all the "Role Groups" that are defined for the actual folder/document. Is it possible to implement such a solution in DMX. If so, do you have any suggestions on how to implement?

Hi Tor, I think (if I understood the goal correctly) that you'll run into trouble trying to enforce 'inclusive role permissions', i.e. when you specify that user A must be part of Role X AND Role Y to do something to the document. DMX is completely wired to handle User A must be part of Role X OR Role Y to do something. I can't see any easy way to implement this. If you want we can examine this in a special project for you. It is not something that is done in a couple of hours though. Regards, 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.
