With role-based security and granular permissions, you can control who has access to your website's content and functionality.
    
3. User-Friendly Interface: DNN offers a user-friendly content management system. Non-technical users can easily create and edit content without needing extensive training. This is especially useful for organisations with multiple contributors who may not have a deep technical background.
