Thanks Shane,
Referred solution handles access to media library, but our customized users do not have access to media library and to WP backend at all. Users can upload files thru CRED form only. Now i'm tryng to restrict direct access to files, located in /wp-content/uploads, for everyone except author and administrator(image 1).
There is a pretty nice preview of possibilities to resolve the case with Toolset Access(image 2), but does not do it all.
"This section controls access to media-element pages and not to media"
With regards,
Tiit
