I updated the the toolset forms plugin and it comes with the wordpress media upload feature. But it appears that all users can access the full wordpress media library from the front end form when uploading a picture. How do I turn off the media library tab and just allow uploads?

Or is it only possible to turn off the wp media uploader all together using the checkbox for "Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields"?

Hello,

You can use Access plugin to control the User Permissions for Using and Editing Existing Files, see our document:
