Downloads based on roles or users
Hi

I am trying to find solution where in the "My Downloads" page should displays files based on the role he has been allocated to, in some cases it could be also some documents limited to users and not to roles.

The admin needs to upload the pdf only once and then set the permission for each pdf based either on role or based on particular user.

The pdf download url should be encrypted url

Thanks Gulab

I would also request an suggestion as to following needs

A bit more complication

Admin manages several clients, now these each of clients has various customers so assuming admin has Client A & Client B, A has 123 as customers B has 456 as customer, A or B should be able to upload documents which would be only visible to selected customer of theirs only.

I am not sure if kentico can provide such functionality and advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks- Gulab

Hi Gulab,

You may use the local permissions. Please see here for more details: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/displaying_personalized_content.htm
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/permissions_for_modules_and_documents.htm
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/secured_web_site_areas.htm

The customers of appropriate administrators could be in the specific role (for example called as the name of administrator). This role would be allowed to see the appropriate documents.

I hope it will help you.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
