Is it possible to configure a new collection with sub collections with their own security settings via an API? I want to generate automatically (on the fly) a collection with sub collections including the security settings, so a specific group of users will have (edit/view) rights. This specific group will be a sub set of the complete set of portal users. looking forward to your reaction. Kind regards, Geert

Hi Geert, It is not too hard. There are several approaches I can think of: 1. Use the EntriesController simple create folder method. This creates the folder (i.e. collection) and gives default (i.e. inherited) permissions. It returns the EntryID of the new folder. You'd then call up the entryinfo and adjust permissions. 2. Alternatively you start from scratch and build your entryinfo. Make sure to set title as follows: objEntry.TitleML("").Texts("")=mytitle Then add EntryPermissionInfos to objEntry.Permissions. Use the entriescontroller to submit to the DB. Best, 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.
