Chapter 3: Users, Roles, and Pages
One of the most important and time-consuming aspects of running a DotNetNuke portal is trying to figure out how to administer the portal. From adding modules to working with users, it will take time before you start feeling comfortable with all the administration tasks associated with running a portal.
