[Resolved] grant access (with user roles) to certain folder

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to manage the wordpress Directory folders with our Access plugin.

Solution:

Unfortunately no this is not something our Toolset plugins can do.

We can only control permissions of the wordpress posts but not any permissions related to the directory files.

Tell us what you are trying to do? Make certain folders accessible to certain user (roles)

Is there any documentation that you are following? There is this plugin Filester that allows you to make a part of your folder structure available to one user role

Is there a similar example that we can see? Have a look at that plugin

What is the link to your site? Not online, still under development.

I have added folders to wp-content (but they could be anywhere) which I want to protect. So I do want to restrict access to the folder and because of that to the files uploaded to that folder. Is that possible with Toolset?

Thank you for your help,
Jos Vermeulen
