apply-roles

When building and maintaining a DNN-based website, it's often useful to create and use a security role that helps empower someone to have nearly Administrator permissions, but not quite. In this case, you can create and apply a new security role named Site Admin and apply it to all pages in the site.

Added In Version

• Upendo DNN Prompt v1.8.0
