Re: FileGallery permissions

posts: 214

Based on the description of what you want to do, it would be difficult using Tiki's permissions, which are only granted to groups.

Your proposed solution of creating a group for each user would allow you to have file galleries with permissions for individual users (groups). However there appears to be a lot of administration involved in doing it that way.

There is another feature that may provide individual upload and storage of files with less administrative work on your part. "User Files" under "Communities". User Files would allow the individual user to upload and maintain their own files. You control if they are stored on the database or in a folder. Each user has access to their files through Tiki MyFiles link on their "User Information" page. Users do not have access to other users' files, even an administrator can not access the user's files since the "MyFiles" link takes you to the logged in user's files. (Of course if the administrator has access to the folder or the database, they could probably get to the files that way). It would be better if there was an option to transfer a user file to a shared file gallery, or from a shared file gallery to a user file. but that can be done through downloading from one and uploading to the other.

You use it you have to turn on "User Files" in the "Community" feature.

You specify the amount of space available and if the files should be kept in the database, or in a folder, and if in a folder you have to specify which folder, by using:
http://yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=userfiles

And you have to give the permission "Can upload personal files" (tiki_p_userfiles) in the "user" permissions.
