Re: [Tikiwiki-users] Restrict access to downloadable files

[Xavier de P. <xav...@vh...>]

The alternative way is using just object permissions (and no category 
permissions). Create a group for each user (or groups of users with 
fully common permissions). If all users whould have individual 
permissions, there is a setting in tiki which forces tiki to create a 
group for each new user registered, to help you with granting 
permissions unique to each single user.

And then, place each file on its own gallery. Grant permissions on a 
file gallery level  (I wonder if a file levels permissions work). And 
use categories for common visualization of files, for instance (show 
files across galleries which belong to that category of interest).

I hope this helps. Choose the path the suits you the best for your needs.

Cheers

Xavi
