Single User download

[junsve]

I keep getting "Category not found" when a Single user tries to download. The Category and the Downloads are visible for the correct user but when clicking on download the error message appears.

In version 3.9 there was a setting to accept SIngle User in Options _ Frontend but I can't find it in 4.0.49, Joomla 5.4.2. I read the documentation but it's overwhelming and the versions 3 and 4 differ.

What I want to achieve is that users should be able to download files in the categories with the same access, i,e, registered should be able to download all from categories set to registered. In addition one specific category is used for Private User Downloads.
How can I activate this?
Please advice.

Is this forum active? I was hoping for some help to get Single user download to work in a fresh installation.
Best regards

Hi
The Single user setting is in User Groups Setting - Group Creation/Editting Settings. Select the User Group then Scroll down to the 'tick box' section and tick 'Single User Access'.
Actually it is probably best to create a specific user group

Thanks Colin. Sorry if I was a bit pushy.
It's already ticked for "Registered", still I get "Category not found" when authorised user (in Registered group) is trying to download. What else should be configured? I.e. the download is visible but not downloadable for the right user.

Hi
The setup is better if you create a new user group rather than use an existing UG like Registered.  There are a some articles that might help.

They are all in the Access Conrols and User Group Permissions.
