files with access level can still be downloaded !?

Hi Tuan,

I have more than 1000 PDF files uploaded to my site with eDocman and everything works fine so far.
Except for one thing, but this is a big issue.

The majority of documents have are set to "Registered" as Access Level.
And it works in the sense that if I make a search on the website (indexing has worked and search pluging is activated), it will show these PDF only if I am logged in.

Still, I have just noticed that anybody can download any pdf just by typing the URL (and putting the number of his choice at the end of the URL).

So so, how can we solve this access level issue ??

Txs in advance,

Marc

Hi Marc

Go to EDocman -> Dashboard, click on Options button in the toolbar :

1. Select Public Group, set Download permission to be Inheritted

2. Select Registered group, set Download permission to be Allowed.

After that, please check it again. It should work well !

Hi Tuan,

Txs a lot for your quick reaction.

I have tested your solution and at first I had thought it wouldn't work... but actually this is because my configuration was a bit more complex than what I summarized in my question.
But your answer put me on the right way.

In fact, I had created 1 edocman category named "public" (with many subcategories) and 1 edocman category named "private" (with many subcategories).
So actually it was not in the general "options" you mentionned I had to make my changes, but in the "permissions" of my "private" category.
So there I set the access of "public" to "inherited" on the line "download".
For the registered users, I have in fact 4 levels ("associate", "regular", "mandat." and "board").
Sor for each of these 4 levels I set the access to "allowed" on the line "download".

And so far in my testings it seems to work.
So txs again Tuan for showing me the way.

PS : here is the screenshot of the configuration of my edocman category "private"
