Is it possible to allow file access only to members of a certain group?
Permalink
I've created a page that is only viewable by users of a certain group. In that page, there are a couple of links to download files. If the user logs out and enters the URL of the file in the browser, the file is accessible. Is there a way to make the files accessible only to members of a certain group?
I know I can set a password for each file but when people login to access a page and then have to enter another password to access the files, that doesn't seem too user friendly.

Yup, you need to put the files in a 'file set' and then adjust its permissions to whatever you wish. By default files don't belong to a file set.
I already have the files in a file set but how do I set permissions to the file set so that only the users of a certain group can access the files within it?
I am using C5 version 5.5.1.

You need to have advanced permissions enabled to set file set permissions.
May I also suggest an upgrade to 5.5.2.1 and then on to 5.6.0.2?

Yes I was trying to upgrade and am having issues. Feel free to comment if you know how to resolve these upgrade issues:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/upgrade-to...
