How To Make Files Secure

To secure files such as .pdf, .doc, .ppt, place the files in the data/Secure folder in the File Manager module. Any file that is placed in this folder will call a script and this script will look for a file called .access.txt This file will contain the groups that will have the right to access objects in this folder.     

The access.txt file in the folder needs to be modified so you can specify the user groups that will have access to the files within it.

The user groups can be found in CRM module, wherein you can also add additional groups if needed.

Here's an example of access groups that have access to the files in the access.txt file: 

Groups Customers,Clients,users
