Different rights on Site folders

Hi,

In my case, the site creator has all the rights on the site folders. The invited users can only read the site documents. I need to create a kind a drop box where the invited users can upload documents (inside the site). As they are consumers, it impossible for them to do upload files anywhere.
How can I do ?
- Keep their consumer status and find a way to make the drop-box accessible for uploading to the users ?
- Set the invited user status as contributors and forbid them to change the other folders ?

Thank you for your help,

Regards

Hello,

why not give the Consumer role write access in only the one folder that should act as the DropBox?
Of course, this has become a bit more difficult in 4.2 with the new default way to manage permission where you won't find the Consumer role to give them additional permissions. If you change the manage permission action to the "old" (IMHO better) implementation, you can just do that. Simply change the "document-manage-granular-permissions" action to use the onActionManagePermissions function instead of linking to a page and you should be good to go.

Hi Axel,

Thank you very much for your help. I started to go in your direction, I think it's the right way to go. I would like this Drop Box to have some special features :
- The documents the user can open/edit/remove in this drop box are only his own uploaded documents.
- The site creator can open (not edit nor remove) all the documents
(just for information it's a teacher/student homework drop box)

Thank you again Axel,

Vincent
