Setting up Briefcase Folders

The Briefcase folder functionality in RSFiles! permits your site's users to have their own private folder section. There, depending on the permissions that you set, they can upload/download/view/maintain their own files. Your user's Briefcase folders are also accessible by admins in the backend, by going to RSFiles! > Files and toggle the root option to Briefcase Root.

In order to set Briefcase folders in RSFiles! you will need to go through the following steps which will permit you to set things up:

• go to Components > RSFiles! > Settings > Files
• set the "Enable Briefcase" option to "Yes"
• go to Components > RSFiles! > Groups
• create the groups which you wish to have access to the briefcase folders
• set the view/download/upload Permissions for the groups.
• and the last step, go to the Menu Manager and create the "Show Briefcase" RSFiles! menu item.

Now, when a user (which belongs to one of the groups that you have defined in RSFiles! > Groups) logs into your website and accesses the given menu item, he will be directed to the contents of a folder that was created for him alone, namely his Briefcase folder.
