TYPE OF SITE
High School where every teacher is assigned their personal login, their personal role and their personal class page in which they have rights to edit.  They do NOT have rights to edit any other part of the site.  Currently there are approximately 180 teacher users.

ISSUES / WISH LIST

1.  I want to give Teacher Users the ability to edit and add HTML Module only so in the grey box after selecting add module a Teacher User should only see HTML Module.

I watched a video made by Chris Hammond showing how to set up the modules in ADMIN/Extensions by making certain DEPLOY MODULE boxes are unchecked for all roles except for ADMINISTRATORS.  I believe in 7.x the default setting is ADMIN only so I actually didn't need to make any changes.

What is working and what isn't:
When I log in as a Teacher User and then add a module I first see the All Categories list of modules and all of our installed modules are listed and a Teacher User can add any of these to a page and edit.  Then I use the drop down and select COMMON modules and I see the HTML module only… THEN I go back to ALL CATEGORIES and all of the modules except for HTML are now gone… so this SORT OF works….. is this a bug in DNN?

2.  When a Teacher User adds a HTML module to their page can I restrict which Pane they can add the html module too?  Also can I keep them from being able to make that module appear on all pages?

3.  On each Teacher User page there are 5 HTML modules that appear on ALL pages within the site.  I want to restrict the ability to edit/delete these from all teachers.  The permissions of these modules are set so only ADMIN can edit.  When I log in as a Teacher User and visit that teacher's page I can edit/delete any of the 5 modules….. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a DNN bug?

Thanks I will now... question is #2 part 2 --- is there a way to restrict users from adding their module to ALL pages?

Hi Buddy,

I think there is something wrong on the DNN version you are running. I just tried on a DNN 7.0.6 site and all worked just fine. 

1 - I give deploy permission to a role for the HTML module;

2 - I give Edit permission to a page;

3 - Then I have logged in as a user form that role and I was only able to see the HTML module to be deployed - which is what you wanted;

In addition to that I have also gone to the module settings and, as that user, I was not able to see the option "Display Module On All Pages" - which is also what you wanted;

Again, I think there is something wrong, maybe with the DNN install, maybe with the version you have installed.

Cheers,

Aderson
