More logins with different rights

Slamb

It would be great to have more logins with different rights, one "visitor" login for viewing and downloading and at least one "admin" login also for uploading, renaming and deleting files, if it is possible. And maybe one more for viewing, downloading and uploading only 🤔

Yes, multi-user login with permissions will be coming soon.

In the meantime, if you want a simple "fix" to have one "public" and one "admin account, you can do this:

Setup your main public Files gallery as usual (let's call it /files/ as example).
Create a new admin-only dir on the same level (let's call it /myadmin/ as example).

Drop Files gallery into the /myadmin/ and add a file _filesconfig.php inside:

<?php

return array (
  'root' => '../files', // point /admin/ to the same root as your public Files gallery
  'username' => 'ali', // add username [login]
  'password' => 'baba', // and password [login]
  'storage_path' => '../files/_files', // store cache and share other config from public
  'allow_upload' => true, // allow all ...
  'allow_delete' => true,
  'allow_rename' => true,
  'allow_new_folder' => true,
  'allow_new_file' => true,
  'allow_duplicate' => true,
  'allow_text_edit' => true,
);

The above will allow you to access the same files from /myadmin/ with login and full write/edit permissions.

is this the correct structure ? does not work for me

ROOT
├── files
│ └── myadmin
│ _filesconfig.php
├── Folder 2

gregory --myadmin

It's entirely optional WHERE you place your myadmin dir. Personally, I would NOT place it inside your main public files dir ... You could for example place it on the same level as your main files dir, and then you would use 'root' => '../files'.

The _filesconfig.php file should only be inside the admin dir, because it would allow the Files app that is there, to NOT create it's own cache/config dir.

It's a bit hard to diagnose from here without seeing what's going on ...
