i have project requires setting 20-25 private user groups, each private user group having approx. 2 - 4 private users, , each of private user groups have 8-10 files folders containing various documents , forms viewed and/or accessed members of specific private user group.

i use docman setting various documents/document folders, have used before.

i looking suggestions on component best setting , controlling user groups, users, , file/documernt access (i.e., jacl plus, jugga, docman, etc.).

can provide me some comments and/or suggestions on this? have used jacl plus smaller. less complex projects, not sure meeting needs on 1 of size , complexity.

thanks input!

hi gdodger,
i've achieved relatively untechie joomla user combination of jacl extension , rsfiles extension document management.

jacl allows set numerous different access levels , assign these numerous groups.

rsfiles simple file download component allows obscure download path documents, , set different access levels. it's been brilliant. easy configure , use, , allows access control via jacl groups.

the 1 gripe have rsfiles haven't found way hide link document or folder person without permission. means can see file or folder, when clicked 'unautorised' message.

not huge problem me i'm using intranet, culd issue public facing site.

i haven't tried docman, looked overkill required.

i suspect if absolutely required able achieve 'hide unauthorised users' bit hacking of rsfiles, have put in feature request developers anyway. support rsfiles far has been good, quick responses , clear answers.

hope helps.
regards,
