I have just added a new category Here
HTML https://www.databasedreams.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads<br
/>Testers files
permissions have been added to allow testers to download files
but all others other than admin cannot downloadfiles from this
groupI am able to download the file butI have updated a members
Sub Groups to include the required testers group permissions but
he was not able to download the file and recieved the following
message.
You are not allowed to download a file in this category.
I then added him to the testers groups as his primary group and
made his current group a sub group but he was still unable to
download the files He has downloaded files in the past.
thanks mick
Edit the member has tried other downloads in other groups
without any problems I'm going to try recreating the group but
as a sub group then move to primary group

I believe if I remember the downloads permissions goes by the
primary membergroup for category level permissions.

must have the global download permission as well under admin ->

The Error Messge Is: "you are not allowed to download a file
from this category."
Im using my other account to test I have checked main
permissions which allow downloading of files.
My test acount has a main category or tester set this has been
checked.
My other account can donload files from a category with the
permissions set in image below
[attachimg=1]But not with the permissions set in both below:
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]

My guess would be the post based group is causing the denial.
Deny's currently override any allows so if one group says no it
would block it.

That was my thinking as well, Trouble is some of my downloads
can't be made available to all like the tester group.
thanks mick
