Folder Creation Issues

There is a bit of an issue with creating folders for your DNN site via the Admin, File Manager utility.

While an Administrator should automatically have Read/Write access for any new folder, those permissions are not getting set properly.

When you create a new folder, using the following steps:

  1. Choose Admin, File Manager
  2. Select the folder you are placing the new folder inside
  3. Enter the name of the folder in the Add Folder text field
  4. Click Add Folder
  5. CLICK ON THE FOLDER YOU JUST CREATED
  6. Set the desired permissions in the Folder Security Setting section and click Update

Steps 5 and 6 are the important part.


Security Roles/User Account Issues

The upgrade to DNN 5.1 created a glitch in the settings for maintaining Security Roles and User Accounts in existing DNN sites (sites added after the upgrade don't have this problem).

The problem is that you can't manage security roles (and you might have problems managing user accounts) despite the permissions indicating that Administrators have edit permissions.

"Re-Synching" the permissions fixes the problem.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Login to your DNN site as an Administrator
  2. From the Admin menu, choose Security Roles
  3. Open the Security Roles module Settings
  4. Click the Update link

You may also need to do this for the Admin, User Accounts module as well.
