Use Cases

You are the admin of a DNN website that has 10,000 users. You are often asked to create new roles and assigned users to new role. With the WorkControl-UserManager, you can have your assistants to help manage users and roles without giving the assistants DNN admin permission.
You have a sales/marketing team who needs to send out products update to customers. The customers are organized by Roles in the DNN database. With the WorkControl-UserManager module, the sales/marketing team can manage the users/roles and then use the Newsletter feature to send out product news by DNN roles. It is a great tool for Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Your intranet is based on DNN. Your DNN database contains up-to-date information about the employee's address, telephone and email. With the WorkControl-UserManger, you can easily set up the Employee Directory Listing and Search. In the module Settings, you enable only the Users menu visible and grant Intranet users with module View permission. With View permission, users can search the directory but they can not change data.
Suppose you have a company intranet and the employees are grouped by division into role. In your Intranet, each division has a home page. You can configure the WorkControl-UserManager for use as Contact list of the division by using role restriction option in the Module Settings. Also you grant Edit permission to the division admin to maintain users.
You have a complex intranet system with multi-level security roles and multiple page levels. You want to make sure that users only have access to page they are suppose to have access to. With Page Permission option you can list pages that a user or roles can see.
You want to setup user accounts using data in the external application. The WorkControl-UserManager can accept URL parameters such as Username, Lastname, Firstname, Email, Displayname, Phone and Password.
Your company security guideline dictates separation of duties between system administration and user account administration. The WorkControl-UserManager allows you to delegate the account administration to non-admin users so that they do not have access to the DNN Admin menu.
