   Hi

   Is it possible (plug-in / hack) to restrict users to only see the media files that they have uploaded themselves?

   I am setting up a site that will be used to communicate with students and I only want them to see their own uploaded files...

   Cheers
   Glen

   Hi

   Done it

   By using: WP Hide Dashboard - I removed Media from user Dashboards

   I commented out: // 'library' => __('Media Library') in media.php (wp-admin/include)

   Dirty - but works....

   Hi,

   Check with this article:

   Also check with these plugins:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/

   Thanks,

   Thanks for the input...

   I have set the default for all posts to be private and edited the relavent .php files so that users can not change them away from private. As a result, if I use Role Scoper -- the Admin dashboard stops working.

   Must be a plug-in clash.

   Thanks for the heads up (again ;-) )

   Cheers
   G

   I have a multiauthor website called cabonk.com where every person can come and upload their own images. So I wanted to restrict them from seeing each others gallery. The solution offered by imgonna above really helped me out. Using that along with Adminimize I was able to restrict the authors to their own posts and images.
   Thanks imgonna - this was the answer I have been searching for since 10 days - you will earn a lot if you write an article on how you did it hehe or even a plugin -
