Hello,
have read the documentation about the user groups settings. However I struggle implementing following case:

I have 4 categories (product1 to product4). Each category contains some files (manuals and software installers) for download. The files are visible only for registered users. The category names are visible for everybody.
For every product I have generate a user group with the same name.

How can a user "own" multiple products and can access their related downloads ?
I do not manage to set get it to work. (Either all downloads of all categories are visible for a user or only the downloads of one category.)

Any help would be welcome.
I would also accept a "this can not be realized with jDownloads" to avoid further investigations.

Thank's a lot in advance.

Hi Ralf,
Unfortunately, I've only just come across your enquiry today. I must have missed it at the time. Perhaps because it was posted in the 'Miscellaneous' category. So I'll move it to the correct category now.

I'd be interested to know if you managed to sort it out yourself back then.
After giving it a quick think, I'd solve it by adding a user who needs access to multiple categories to the relevant user groups. So the Registered group, as well as the Product-1 group, the Product-2 group, and so on.



Best Regards / Gruß
Arno
