Hi Everyone,

I was hoping someone might have a solution for a little problem I have run into. I want to give some people access to the file manager to upload files to a DNN site. I followed the tutorial "How to limit access to the admin menu" to move the file manager out of the admin menu and into a new "Site Admin" menu. I am able to do just about everything, I can move files around create new folders and delete folders.

What I cannot do is add new files. I click upload and instead of the page refreshing and getting the upload module box I get an "Access Denied - Either you are not currently logged in, or you do not have access to this content." 

I am still able to use the File Manager with the host and admin accounts and any accounts I give Admin access to. I'm guessing that for some reason the permissions are being lost between the file manager and the upload. I checked the File Manager security settings on the folder and I gave read/write access. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any ideas please?


Thanks everyone for taking some time to help.

Hello,

I have just tested this and have the same problem. Perhaps it would be worth looking for document upload management modules? there was a discussion here

You may want to look at bring2mind Document Exchange

Hey Lee,
     If you ever run into this again I found a solution. The file manager webupload.ascx.vb file has a method CheckSecurity() that has a hard coded check to see if the person trying to access it is either the admin or super user. If it's not one of those access is denied. All I had to do was add an extra if statement saying if the user is in my "site admin" role to allow access.
     If anyone is interested the code is:

If DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.IsInRole("YourRoleName") Then
     DenyAccess = false
End If

Thanks a bunch for your help and for pointing me in the right direction!
