    Hi there,

    I’m having trouble to define the right settings for a user in my
    Access Policy Template. He should see all the folders and files in the modx-file-manager browser.

    The following settings i’ve activated, but the user still can’t see any directories or files:

    file_list
file_manager
file_remove
file_tree
file_update
file_upload
file_view
directory_list
directory_chmod
directory_create
directory_update
directory_remove


    Whate else is needed? Anyone having also problems with this?

    Thanks for your answers!

      Why are you making another AP Template? Just use the Administrator Template with a new Policy and uncheck settings in it in your new Policy.

      I assume this is in web context? Have you customized the filemanager_path setting?

        FWIW, when you’re learning the permission system, it’s usually easier to give the user all the permissions, make sure things are working, then remove them a few at a time, testing as you go.

          It works!!

          Sorry Shaun I wrote it false.
          I’ve made an Access Policy based on the Administrator Template.
          Your hint with the web context brought me the solution:
          I defined my AP for the mgr context and a different one for the web... just added the same for the web context, now it works fine.
          Will now define a customized filemanager_path setting for the User.

          Thanks!
