Different Access settings for each resourceType

I know you have have different settings per role, but I wish to have only one role but have different settings per resource.

For example, I want the files to only be browsable so a user can link to different pages but not upload files.
Yet I want users to be able to upload images to a different directory.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Re: Different Access settings for each resourceType

This is copied from the standard config.php file:

For example, if you want to restrict the upload, rename or delete of files in
the "Logos" folder of the resource type "Images", you may uncomment the
following definition, leaving the above one:

$config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
'role' => '*',
'resourceType' => 'Images',
'folder' => '/Logos',

'fileUpload' => false,
'fileRename' => false,
'fileDelete' => false);

Re: Different Access settings for each resourceType

Yes, but that works for only one resource type. Can I assign another set of setting for the all roles?

Here would be an example of the logic, but with obvious wrong syntax....

$config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
'role' => '*',
'resourceType' => 'Images',
'folder' => '/Logos',
'fileUpload' => true,
'fileRename' => false,
'fileDelete' => false,

'resourceType' => 'Files',
'folder' => '/files',
'fileUpload' => false,
'fileRename' => false,
'fileDelete' => false,
);

I am considering a work-around to limit the upload size of the Files resource to be 1.

Thanks for your response.

Re: Different Access settings for each resourceType

Upon further review of your response, I know understand and have accomplished what I intended. For other's benefit, here is what it looks like:

$config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
      'role' => '*',
      'resourceType' => '*',
      'folder' => '/',

      'folderView' => true,
      'folderCreate' => false,
      'folderRename' => false,
      'folderDelete' => false,

      'fileView' => true,
      'fileUpload' => true,
      'fileRename' => true,
      'fileDelete' => true);
      
$config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
      'role' => '*',
      'resourceType' => 'Pages',
      'folder' => '/',

      'folderView' => true,
      'folderCreate' => false,
      'folderRename' => false,
      'folderDelete' => false,

      'fileView' => true,
      'fileUpload' => false,
      'fileRename' => false,
      'fileDelete' => false);

Hope this helps and thank you all.
