Prerequisites

You need a host/superuser account to be able to perform the steps outlined in this article.

• Hosts have full permissions to all sites in the DNN instance.
• A host account is required to upload modules and themes because they might contain executable code (an administrator account is sufficient to apply modules and themes to a website).
