  Is there a module that would let me "partion" off part of a website? I'm looking for something that'll let me give my admins a "section" of the website that they can use as they please, but within the bounds of PostNuke. I'd like for them to have their own news/blog area, at the very least, as well as their own blocks that they can configure for their section. If possibly, it'd be nice to have their own "instances" of modules on the site (like their own gallery, for instance), but this isn't really necessary (they can just link to a folder inside the gallery module).
  
  This may be a lot to ask, but I just want to know if something remotely similar exists.
  
  (if nothing like that really exists, do you guys know a way to use Xanthia to wrap different pages in a module with different sets of blocks? Like, for instance, using htmlpages, but each page might use a different block. I think that'll be all I need to do what I want).
  
  edit: What about a hack that'll let me to safely install the same module multiple times?
  
  edit: Would it be possible to have postnuke installed in two different folders and have them share the same database (to preserve registered users and stuff), all while having each part of the site running independantly? Anything would help, really...

  I've seen nothing of this nature in a PostNuke environment, save for using Groups and Permissions...which work quite well, I might add. Easiest would be to use the User Permissions, but as those are phasing out, I wouldn't rely on it.

  AutoTheme excels in this area of displaying certain blocks with certain pages.

  This is not recommended (at least by me!) To do this, you'd need to copy the module, change the directory name, change all references to the old name within the code, change template filenames, plugin filenames, scrutinize every line to ensure no crossed wires in say, module variables, table names, etc... and those are just the things I can think of in 20 seconds.

  If they're using the same database, they're essentially the same site.

  Yes you can do at least the last one simply by editing the pntables.php file if that is what it is still called ;)
  I have that working on my site.

  All share the same user table but have different content. Its a royal pain when its time to upgrade, but it has worked fine for me for a while. Good Luck
