kar3n2 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Hi I know there is permissions for certain member groups to be able to upload files into downloads but is there a setting to allow or prevent certain member groups from actually viewing the downloads? ie prevent access to them entirely Thanks if you can help
Adriano Faria Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Yes. ACP -> System -> Applications click in Downloads name -> it will show a new line, probably called Downloads-> click in the pad lock and remove permissions for the groups you want.

THANKS I haven't got the downloads yet and my asking was just before setting it up whether I could have only certain groups access the purchases of a downloads. So at least now I know its possible. It's a bit of a shame really ( not IPS fault by any means) all this EU vat thing as I will need to restrict any digital sales to my UK members only. ( we are a UK initiative btw, but there might be a few members from overseas which I cannot block by law)
Adriano Faria Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 You can do that to any app or a module of any app.

This disables the entire app for those groups. You can also simply set permissions per category to not download the file, but they can still view. There is no setting that specifically prohibits a group from paying / accessing paid files.
