DotNetNuke 7.xx (DNN) CMS & How To - Document Management module

I am old DNN user, used versions 1.0 - 4.0 years ago. Now I'm coming back to version 7.xx, While I can see huge improvements they come with increased complexity and I have struggled to find definitive answer to the following question:

What is the best way to setup a documents management repository with private (current user only) & members only areas without using third party modules?

Versioning is not essential, but nice to have. The core requirement is the private & members only read only document access.

P.S. Might consider paid modules, but only if developed for DNN 7 from day one and with good support.

Solution

  • Maybe this not helps you, because I think you needs a specific module for the users can manage his own folder, but DNN7 creates a private folder for each user in /Portals/XX/Users/[UserId].

    If this not convince you, you can go to Admin>FileManagement and create a folder with specific permisions. To do that:

    1. Create New Folder
    2. Right Click over the folder you just create and edit the permissions for that folder.
