Hide the download link for not authenticated user

Hello,

how do you want to hid the link when the user has it already? If you want to hide a link on your page, you can use macros like this:

{%CurrentUser.IsAuthenticated?"<a href='link'>link</a>":""|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

If the user has the link already you would need to apply some file permissions, but this depends on the type of the file. For instance for the CMS.File, you can simply set page permissions on the Security tab of that file.

but i want after that user enter direct url link in his browser,

kentico check user authentication and then allow to use

i want a solution for this problem....

Hello,

in this case you need to follow the second approach I have described. Let's say you have link like http://yoursite/files/some_file, then you simply go to the files -> some_file location in your content tree, switch to Properties -> Security section and set the Requires authentication property to Yes. A visitor with direct link will be redirected to your logon page and after they sign in Kentico offers given file for download.

That's the perfect approach. I have been doing the same.

What if the file I want to restrict is in Media Library?

Can anyone help?
