Title: User may see only his own downloads
Post by: freeme on 15.04.2024 21:51:59
Hi,
I have configured jDownloads so far that only a specific user group may access the component.
However - I still have the problem that every user of the same user group can see all uploaded files.

I want to restrict this user group in this way, that every user only sees his own files (except of the super user).

I didnt figure out, how to do this in ACL? Or somewhere else in settings?

Thanks for help.

Hi
What you need is the Private User facility
See Single user Access

Thanks Colin, but it seems - that solution would require that every user needs to be configured (after doing some general configuration).

I am looking for a solution, where I let users of a specific user group (according to ACL) see and download their own documents only, but without having to configure each user individually.

Hi
Sorry for the delay - doing a review!
There is another way which is to use the menu item List My Downloads. But once again this relies on the Download Creator field having the name of the user.
