 * Hi,
    You can do that in the following way:
    1.  Install any role manager plugin from wordpress.org
    2.  Create a role named “Approved”
    3.  Now, all user sign-ups will go to subscriber role by default
    4.  The users you want to approve to download, assign them to “Approved”
    5.  When you are creating download, delete “All Visitors” from “Allow Access” option
       and select only “Approved” and “Administrator” role.

 * OK, I using ‘User Role Editor’
    I made copy of subscriber, everyone who register
   will be subscriber and on you plugin setting I will use the Approved instead 
   of subscriber. The users I want to approve I manually give them the role Approved
 * I got it right?
 * How Do I show the file only for login users?
    if I using [wpdm_tree] I can still
   see the folder even if I do not logged into the site? I want the dashboard to
   show the folders and files

 * Yes, you got it right.
    To show the file only for logged in user, you see the
   remove “All Visitors” from “Allow Access” option and select the only user roles
   you want to allow.
