Phoca Forum

Dear all, I am new in Phoca Download. Recently I use it for our non-profit organization.
I also have similar question about this topic and I realize that there is setting for -All registered users-
But how if I have several registered users with a different privileges for uploading.

For example:

Categories:
Class A
Class B

Access Level:
Class A Group
Class B Group

User:
Student A (belong to Class A Group)
Student B (belong to Class B Group)

Requirement #1:
Student A can only download from category Class A and student B can only download from category Class B.
Solution #1:
This is easy because I can set category Class A's access to Class A Group and set category Class B's access to Class B Group.

Requirement #2:
Student A class can only upload to category Class A and student B can only upload to category Class B
Solution #2:
Still got no solution.
My temporary solution is setting -All registered users- to Class A Group and Class B Group.
But actually it is only solution to protect registered access level for not uploading to category Class A and/or Class B.

Please help.
Thank you

At the moment there is no group support for this. So the only possibility is give upload rights to each student who is related to the category.

Follow my steps closely, u will achieve it
My requirement was like, i need students to be able to comment on blogs & forums, but cannot upload files.
But teachers should be able to comment & upload files.

You need to create a new user griup with new permisions for this.
steps
1. User manager->Groups->Add New Group
2. Create a new group (teacher) with group parent as public (save & close)
3. User manager->Access Levels->Add New Access Level
4. Create a new access level with title as staff & select teacher from User Groups Having Viewing Access

Next steps involves creating a new user under group teacher (comment & upload rights)
5. User manager->Add New User
6. Enter user details & select Registered & teacher under Assigned User Groups

Next steps involves creating a new student user (comment rights only)
7. User manager->Add New User
8. Enter user details & select Registered under Assigned User Groups

9. Components->Phoca Download->options (top right in cpanel there is an option button)
10. General Tab
set Access Level - Registered Users to staff ( accces level we had created recently)

Now login to the front end as registered user & try opening the phoca upload page, you will be getting a message - You are not authorized to do this action

Hope this helps!

Hi, thank you for the guide.
