Included Modules
A number of modules are included in DNN by default and can be added to your site.
Note:
For security reasons, some modules might not be available to you. Examples:
- Premium modules might not be enabled for all sites. The host user must enable a premium module for your site before it can be used.
- Modules that perform administrative tasks require Administrator access by default.
- Hosts and administrators can customize which roles have access to a module.
