Configure rights for every tiny control? 
Hi

I have tried to post a question i another forum here at dotnetnuke.com but I have not been completely satisfied with the results so I hope it's ok that I try here now.
The old thread can be seen here: http://dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/108/threadid/61514/scope/posts/Default.aspx

The issue was/is as follows:

I am the host of several portals which are administered by people with different level of IT skills. Some of them just barely knows how to open IE.
For that reason I want to be able to remove access to every little setting and element on the portal so that the admin doesn't get confused and doesn't do anything stupid by accident.

Some of the admins are a little higher skilled and sometimes require that they get a little more possibilities to administer their site. This means that I have to be able to give them access to the specific admin function the want.

I have tried installing Dave Buckner's TRTControlPanel but as far as I can see it still doesn't give me access to really micro manage which settings are available for the individual user.

Does anybody know of a way to do this with DNN? The best would be to just install a module but does a module like this exist? Or do I have to make the module or code the changes in the core of DNN myself?

Another option is to start from scratch and not even use DNN but code the whole site from the bottom up, but since DNN has been tested so thoroughly and all that, it would be best if my project could run on it.

Any suggestions?

Re: Configure rights for every tiny control? 

Can you touch more in detail of what exactly your trying to micro manage? Settings in say Admin/Site Settings? DNN Core Admin Settings? I am unsure what you want to manage.

Re: Configure rights for every tiny control? 
It is every little setting I want to be able to switch on/off.
Whereever there is a link, a button, a dropdown menu, an icon or something else I, as the superuser of all the portals, want a switch that can turn the element off for a specific user group.

Re: Configure rights for every tiny control? 

That's what I figured you was asking but wanted to clarify. I have not seen a module that will accomplish this currently. And it's beyond the scope of my control panel. Maybe once things start being changed in this area, it may be a different story. I would suggest adding it to Gemini as a feature request though as well. Currently as this exists in DotNetNuke there would need to be core modifications or some trickery to accomplish this. It could be done though if your looking to modify the source.

Re: Configure rights for every tiny control? 
Ok, Thanks.

We have decided to build the system from the bottom up.
We have too many special requests and functionality wishes so we have agreed that we will get the best result if we build it all by ourselves.
