Hi,

I've not yet used DotNetNuke, and only began researching the product today. After a few hours, I am excited about what this product can do for me and am looking forward to diving in.

I do have a functionality question though; can DNN support something like allowing a user to log in, then have access to a set of documents (e.g. Word Documents) which are specific to that user, and can only be accessed by that user?

For example, a firm that creates personal documents for their clients what to give their clients access to those documents through the internet. But only allow access to the firm's client's own documents.

If I've been a dumb-ass and asked something which is totally obvious, please feel free to kick me.

Regards
Antony

Out of the box you'd need to set up a role for each user, as well as a folder for each user, and then apply the appropriate permissions.

However I do recall a custom module called 'UserFiles' or the like which was basically designed to what you want.  I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT:  Whadda you know, it was one of Peter modules.  Was designed for DNN V2 though, so you might have to ask him nicely to upgrade it if you want to use it ;=))

You can do this quite easily with my File Manager Pro module. In fact the demo at http://fmpdnn3.speerio.net/ illustrates this very capability.

Thanks both of you for your responses...
