Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hello:

Was wondering if I am able to set access to uploads of a category to a specific user, not users or user group, just 1 user and still allow for public downloads of that category?

If so, how?

Hi
You can create a user Group and allocate just one user to it if you want to.  The way permissions work in User Groups is a Joomla facility, jDownloads just complies
You can set all Downloads to allow Public Downloads by setting what are sometimes called the Component Permissions. It may alreasdy be set but to check on the jD Control Panel click on the Options tab in the toolbar and set Download permission to Allow for the Public User Group.
Remember that Permissions allow things to be done, Access allows thing to be seen.Colin
