hi Syam – is there a way to restrict files in the media library to only logged in users, in a similar way that Posts / Pages extended permissions has the Role Permission check boxes? Is it possible to set Role permissions for files in the media library? I thought that the extended posts / pages permissions would do that but even if I restrict a page or post, any of the media files linked to from that page are not blocked.

I’m trying to make certain images only view-able to logged in users.

I looked into the Media Attachment File Permissions, thinking that might do it but I only found the option to enable users of certain roles to upload / delete media library files.

Would the “read others attachments” option be what I would set for that? The documentation that says,

read_others_attachments

This capability is required to view files which are uploaded by others within the media library. Remove this capability to give a user access to only his/her own files.

makes me think that it would do what i want to accomplish, but i have that unchecked for several user roles and when logged in, those users are able to view the content, even if it’s an image they didn’t upload.

Am I misunderstanding what this does?

thanks, david
