Hi All,

I need one help, is it possible that we can show specific images from Media Library->Images to logged in users?

Thanks

You might use two content classes for images: one which is visible and one which is not...

Hi Dhaval,

you can also create 2 folders with each a different section and use one to put your protected images. Then, you can modify roles to add access to the protected folder only to logged users.

Hi Franck & Gaetano,

That means i need to create one FOLDER in Image folder and have to assign rights to FOLDER only?

Thank you

If you use two separate folders, you should assign the rights to read on "image class + fixed parent node"

Dhaval,
if you want to use section to deal with your protected images, you must follow these steps:

  • create a "protected" folder to keep your images
  • create a section (e.g "for_logged_users_only")
  • modify your "protected" folder to assign it your new "for_logged_users_only" section
  • then, when you'll add an image to that folder, this new image will be automatically assigned to the "for_logged_users_only" section
  • modify roles to add "content->read" right for "for_logged_users_only" section to logged users
