Downloads Permissions
« on: January 22, 2021, 09:41:50 am »
I have just added a new category Here https://www.databasedreams.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads Testers files
permissions have been added to allow testers to download files but all others other than admin cannot downloadfiles from this groupI am able to download the file butI have updated a members Sub Groups to include the required testers group permissions but he was not able to download the file and recieved the following message.

You are not allowed to download a file in this category.

I then added him to the testers groups as his primary group and made his current group a sub group but he was still unable to download the files He has downloaded files in the past.

thanks mick
Edit the member has tried other downloads in other groups without any problems I'm going to try recreating the group but as a sub group then move to primary group

I believe if I remember the downloads permissions goes by the primary membergroup for category level permissions.

The Error Messge Is: "you are not allowed to download a file from this category."

Im using my other account to test I have checked main permissions which allow downloading of files.

My test acount has a main category or tester set this has been checked.

My other account can donload files from a category with the permissions set in image below
But not with the permissions set in both below:

My guess would be the post based group is causing the denial. Deny's currently override any allows so if one group says no it would block it.

That was my thinking as well, Trouble is some of my downloads can't be made available to all like the tester group.
thanks mick
