How to link files to a specific person/user ID?
Permalink
I've been trying to figure this out for some time and I haven't been able to or found a solution. I am trying to link files that clients upload to the client area via a form or some other means and have it assigned specifically to that person.
I sort of have a solution but it involves setting up different groups and using different sets but is there a way to make this happen without a bunch of extra steps?

In the file manager task permissions you can set people to only be able to see, edit and use their own files. Is that what you are looking for?
Yes but doesn't that require setting up a group or group set and assigning permissions for that group/group set?
The thing is this is for a client and he wants to minimize as much manual work as possible.

There's the on_file_add event, you could probably hook into that and assign permissions there, but I don't know exact syntax for that.
I see how that can work but I dont know much php so I dont think I will be able to figure this out in a timely manner but how much do you think getting this set up would cost?
Btw I greatly appreciate your help thus far!

I really don't honestly know. I'd say probably a couple of hours at most for someone competent, what that will cost you could vary a whole lot depending on who you hire and where they are.
Fair enough. Thanks for your help once again!
