Hide folders for special users

    Hi, is it possible to hide folders for special users in FileBird PRO. I habe two usergroups, which have access to the media library and create there own folders. But usergroup A should not see which folders usergroup B has created.
    I see that it is possible to restrict the folder access to only one user. But one usergroup has more than one user.

    Is it possible to realize this with the API or the PRO-Version of the plugin?

    Greetings
    Marco

    Hi @marco27 ,

    Thanks for using FileBird, please note that the user restriction function only works for specific user, not user groups or roles.

    Also, it is designed to work with the regular WordPress roles, if you use a plugin or script to create users and user roles, it may not work.

    Moreso, please note that the functionality is available both in Lite and PRO version.

    Thank you!

    Kind regards,

    Hi @ninjateamwp ,

    thanks for your advices. You are writing that the user restriction function supports regular WordPress roles. In the free version of FileBird I didn’t found a solution to select a regular role.
    Is is included in the PRO-Version?

    Hi @marco27 ,

    Thanks for writing back too! I confirm that FileBird Lite indeed also have this User specific function:

    Mind you, this is not “User role” but “Users”.

    Hope this clarifies!

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Bruce,

    yes I see that and I tested it too. But I think this function is equivalent to this one:

    add_filter( ‘ajax_query_attachments_args’,
‘wpb_show_current_user_attachments’ );

function wpb_show_current_user_attachments( $query ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ( $user_id &&
!current_user_can(‘activate_plugins’) &&
!current_user_can(‘edit_others_posts’) ) {
$query[‘author’] = $user_id;
}
return $query;
}

    But this does not help me. In your first post you wrote that the plugin is designed to work with regular roles. Does this means only the author role?

    Hi @marco27 ,

    The user restriction function works for users that have access to the WP Admin backend of your site and then see media library.

    You can test by creating two different WP Admin user account and then activate the function:

    https://ninjateam.gitbook.io/filebird/set-folders-for-different-admin-users

    Login the accounts to test.

    Hope that clarifies?

    Kind regards,
