Hello,

I am sharing different files on my portal and I set the [download links] to be visible only for registered users.

But if I copy the file URL and paste when I am not logged as a user, I can download the file as well. So, with the file direct URL everyone can access the file.

My aim is not to allow to download these files only if a Registered User is logged in. Please, tell me some suggestions about how to solve it!

Thanks!

You may need to configure the directories that [download links] is pointing at as "Secure" in the DNN File Manager.

In admin > File Manager, place your files in a new folder, created as "secure File System" and grant view permission just for the security role(s), which members should be able to download the file.
