How to set page permissions by username and roles. This tutorial assumes you are on the Page Settings page of a page. Note: Access to view and set page permissions is only available to Administrators and users with Edit/Full Control permissions for the page. 

IMPORTANT: In DNN Community edition, page management permissions consist of View and Edit permissions only. In DNN Professional, page management includes ten different permissions for page management which are the same for both users and roles.

  1. Go to the Basic Settings - Page Details section.
  2. Go to Permissions.
  3. At Username, enter the username of a user that you want to grant or deny page viewing permissions to, and then click the Add link.
  4.  OPTIONAL. At Filter By Group, select from the following options: 
    • < All Roles >: Select to view all roles (both global role and roles groups) in one single list.
    • < Global Roles >: Select to view all roles which are not associated with a Role Group. E.g. Administrators, All Users, Registered Users, and Unauthenticated Users.
    • [Role Group Name]: Select the name of a Role Group to view the roles within that group.
  5. In the View (or View Page) column, click on the check box beside a user/role repeatedly until the correct permission is displayed.
    •  Permission Granted:: Permission to view the page is granted.
    • Permission Denied Permission Denied: Permission to view the page is denied, unless Full Control is granted.
    • Not SpecifiedNot Specified: Permissions are not specified. Users cannot view the page unless they belong to another role/username which has been granted permission, or are granted Full Control/Edit Page permissions.
  6. If you are using DNN Community Edition, Skip to Step 15.
  7.  In the Add column, select from these options:
    • Permission Granted Permission Granted: Users with Add permissions for a page can add child pages to that page. They cannot add any parent pages, and they cannot add child pages to any other pages.
    • Permission Denied Permission Denied: Permission to add child pages is denied, unless Full Control is granted.
    • Not Specified Not Specified: Permissions are not specified. Users are unable to add pages unless they belong to another role/username which has been granted permission.

    • Permission Denied Permission Denied: Permission to add and manage module content is denied, unless Full Control is granted.
    • Not SpecifiedNot Specified: Permissions are not specified. Users are unable to view the page unless they belong to another role/username which has been granted permission.

    • Permission Granted Permission Granted: Users with Copy permission can make a copy any page they can view. The new page can only be a child of the page they have copy permissions for.

    • Permission Denied Permission Denied: Permission to navigate to the page is denied, unless Full Control is granted.
    • Not SpecifiedNot Specified: Permissions are not specified. Users are unable to navigate to the page unless they belong to another role/username which has been granted permission.
