How Does DotNetNuke Make Managing Security, Membership, and Roles Easy?

   -Logging in to a DNN site as Administrator allows the user to manage settings related to their own individual portal.  The Administrator may edit, modify, or delete settings specific to their own portal.

Security Roles and Protected Content.  DotNetNuke allows administrators to define and assign roles for different user groups, such as: registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates, media, etc. 

   -Administrators can then grant access and editing rights for each group.  When a user logs in to the portal, they may access or edit only the information they are permitted to.  These rights can be assigned to the entire portal, a single page of the portal, or even to an individual module on a specific page.   Individual users may belong to more than one group, therefore may have access and editing rights to various secure areas of the portal.

   -By instituting separate password protected areas throughout a portal, administrators can control who can access each area in the portal, whether they be staff, membership, resellers, or buyers.

Site Log.  The site log can help administrators analyze both their portal users and those coming to view the portal.  This tool generates reports such as: detailed site log, page popularity, page views by day, page views by days of week, page views by hour, page views by month, user frequency, user registration by country, user registration by date. 

Manage Vendors and Affiliates:  Allows administrators to store contact information, advertising materials (banners, button ads), and statistical data on portal vendors and affiliates.  Manages start and end dates for ad campaigns, tracks impressions, and calculates cost per impression (CPM).

Bulk Email:  The Bulk Email program installed with DotNetNuke lets administrators compose an email message, choose which users or group is to receive the message, and send the item.

Newsletter:  As with the Bulk Email tool, the Newsletter module allows administrators to send a newsletter to a targeted group of users or membership.  However, the Newsletter is created and sent as an HTML document, and archived for future use.

Powerful Modules:  Several of the modules included in our DotNetNuke packages are especially useful for managing membership.  For example, on a working portal, the Users Online module displays a variety of membership information, such as:  membership details and people online (members & visitors.)  The Feedback module allows users and visitors to send messages to the administrator of the portal.  User Accounts permits registered users to add, edit, or update their user account details.  The Survey module allows users to complete online surveys.  The Contacts module can render contact information for a group of people, such as a group or team.
