I’m trying to change the filemanager_path on a per-user basis. By default, filemanager_path is set to "". For certain users (editors), I’d like to set it so that the file browser loads the assets/ directory, but adding a user setting with key "filemanager_path" and value "assets/" has no effect - the file tree/browser still loads the base MODx directory. Changing the actual filemanager_path system setting value to "assets/" does work, but obviously some users should have access to the base directory. Am I doing something wrong here?
The user setting should work. Don’t forget to save the user and be sure to clear the cache and flush permissions and all settings before testing.
You may also have to log in as another user from a browser where you’re not logged in to the Manager as the admin Super User.
