When saving the settings I get a 403 | ACCESS DENIED error. Does anyone have an idea about what causes this?

It’s a new install with latest mDocs. Other options like uploading documents or making folders just work fine.

Are you an administrator?

Yes, I am. It’s a new WP install with just one (admin) user.

you are going to have to download the plugin “user role editor”:

https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

Open the plugin and check the capabilities of the admin users make sure it contains:
manage_options
mdocs_allow_upload
mdocs_allow_upload_frontend
mdocs_batch_delete
mdocs_batch_edit
mdocs_batch_move
mdocs_manage_options
mdocs_manage_settings

let me know what the results are.

I tried. They all are named and have a tag.

The problem is solved now by removing the .htaccess settings (Deny from all
Options +Indexes). But could this compromise security?

it certainly will, removing those lines will allow downloads without any access.
