Download restriction

Hello, I would like to allow only users with a certain level of trust to download files. Is there a way to do this?
Or there could be a prerequisite such as having at least 2 comments.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Simple answer - no.

If a user can view a file, they can download it unless they’re an anonymous user. If you wish to prevent users that are not logged in from downloading attachments, toggle the following setting:

prevent anons from downloading files Prevent anonymous users from downloading attachments.

Alternatively, you may wish to set up a category for users who are of a certain trust level and share the attachments there. You can do so by:

  • Restricting it to a certain t.l. (‘Security’ → ‘Group’ → ‘Add a group’)

If you want to change t.l. prerequisites, you can do so in Settings → Trust Levels → applicable changes to settings.

Not sure if this was what you were looking for but I hope I was of help.

Thank you for the information.

I’m already doing it this way, but there are too many people who sign up just to download files. I want to prevent this.
