In DotNetNuke 7.3 the artificial distinctions between Normal and Admin webpages was taken out. All Modules confirmed inside the Admin-Menu can now even be placed on any custom webpage and fundamentally everyone could use them. This informative article gives you directions how you can permit Non-Admins to access the DNN Web page Management and workaround some restrictions.

Erik Van Ballegoij presently wrote regarding how to offer non admins accessibility to any admin web page. You can just insert the module like any other into a preferred Page. It’s important to give the desired user(s) Edit Permission on that Web page (not only on that module) otherwise they get an “Access Denied” warning.

Essentially which is it. Users can now edit Page options for Web pages they have edit Permissions to but for no other Pages. There are just two limitations:

1. Drag and fall to reorder Pages only functions for Directors
2. Incorporate Webpage(s) only operates for Directors

To get these functionality to operate for Non-Administrators adapt the file at ~/DesktopModules/Admin/Tabs/Tabs.ascx.cs. You’d need to comment out a Safety examine PortalSecurity.IsInRole(PortalSettings.AdministratorRoleName) three times:\

1. OnInit: remark out the if-Condition (line ~237) and the else statement (~243-247)
2. CtlPagesNodeDrop: comment out the if-Condition (very first line)
3. OnCreatePagesClick: remark out the if-Statement (first two strains)

Which is it. I examined it effectively on DNN 7.3.3.

Quick tips : Getting rid of spam users

After getting a couple of questions, I'd like to provide options for getting rid of spam users, which is cumbersome via UI, if thousands of registration have been added by a bot.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy as just deleting items from a single table, as user Information is distributed in multiple tables inside the database, therefore we need.
You are in a comfortable situation, if your site is using verified or private registration - in this case all spam users are unauthorized and you simply need to hit "delete unauthorized users" in Admin > User Accounts.
In all other cases, you will need to identify the users to delete from the database and mark as "deleted", in order to use "remove deleted users" (hard-delete) those users from all tables.

ALWAYS START WITH A DATABASE BACKUP!!

If your site only has a host and admin user you would run the following statement inside Host > SQL (check "run as script" in all DNN versions prior to 7.3):
UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}UserPortals]
 SET   isDeleted = 1
 WHERE UserID NOT IN (SELECT UserID FROM  {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Users
                                    WHERE isSuperuser = 1 OR UserName Like 'Admin')
If you may identify all users by registration date, e.g. since first of November, you would run
UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}UserPortals]
 SET   isDeleted = 1
 WHERE UserID NOT IN (SELECT UserID FROM  {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Users]
                                    WHERE isSuperuser = 1 OR UserName Like 'Admin' or CreatedOnDate < 2014-18-11)

Of course, this will become more difficult, if regular users registered the same time. You may consider creating a role "verifiedUsers" and move all regular users manually into this group. Now the command would look like

UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}UserPortals]
 SET   isDeleted = 1
 WHERE UserID NOT IN (SELECT UserID FROM  {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Users]
                                    WHERE isSuperuser = 1 OR UserName Like 'Admin' or CreatedOnDate < 2014-18-11)
   AND UserID NOT IN (SELECT UserID FROM {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}vw_UserRoles]
                                    WHERE RoleName Like 'verifiedUsers')

Afterwards you may use "Remove Deleted Users" link in Admin > User Management, to delete all rows.
For DNN Versions prior to DNN 7.3.1, you need to delete user folders manually, which reside nested inside users subfolder of the portal folder. Unfortunately, it is difficult to identify all folders from deleted users, but you may delete all empty folders without subfolder and files inside, as the folder for a still existing user will be re-created, once the user logs in again for the first time. You may use the following command (sing a command line on the server, while being inside the users folder)
for /f "delims=" %i in ('dir /ad /s /b') do @rd "%i"
Finally, you should enter file manager in DNN Admin menu and perform a recursive sync to get rid of all folder entries and folder permissions in the database
