 * I would like users to be able to upload without using the Media manager, as it
   exists now.
 * I have a property management site I’m working on. Users need to submit the property(
   CCT) and images of the property. Problem is they can see all the other images
   in the Media manager. Additionally, the media manager will confuse the average
   user.
 * I would just like the user to upload and delete images simply, and to have the
   each individual set images associated with only that property.
 * This a back end product, it will not be seen by the public so it doesn’t have
   to be elaborate.
 * I’ve messed around with permissions plugins, but really I need to circumvent 
   the Media manager.
 * Is there a way to do this with the custom content type I’ve created with CCTM?
 * I love the plugin, by the way!

 * That’s tough — I haven’t written any stand-alone upload functionality. I’ve tried
   to reuse WP’s media manager as much as possible (even though it is not written
   very modularly). I don’t think permissions will do anything for you there either—
   the task is all about validating files and managing the paths where the uploaded
   files are stored.

 * Well thanks for your input. I’ll look into a solution and will post if I find
   one.

 * You could create your own custom field type: [https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/CustomCustomFields](https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/CustomCustomFields)
