 * I just installed this plugin. I went to an existing Media file and clicked the
   Add to Protected button. The file was automatically moved to the uploads/_mediavault
   folder. I set it so only Admin users can access it.
 * I logged out of my account. I then went to mydomain.com/?attachment_id=NUM where
   NUM is the attachment id. I could go to the page and download the file without
   a problem, which is obviously an issue.
 * What did I do wrong?

 * Are you still experiencing this problem?
 * I just tested that scenario and noticed that the attachment page loads, as you’ve
   mentioned, but I cannot download or view the protected file without the proper
   permissions.
