John Smith	Monday 21 March 2005 3:37:58 am hi there, In my site, I have two sections of site, one for visitors and the another from the members. Obviously the members has to be logged in to access the restricted area of the site. Members can also see the visitors section of the site when logged in. Upto here, it is fine. Now when I uploaded/attached a pdf file with an articles in the visitors and members sections of the site, I can download both pdf files present in public and members section of site while i am logged in or logged out. I want the members pdf url to give access denied error when the members are logged out and accessed by visitors. The roles and permissions for members section are given below content read Section( Standard , Members Only ) user all functions No limitations content bookmark No limitations notification use No limitations content pdf Section( Members Only ) content read Class( File ) , Section( Media , Members Only ) The roles and permission for visitors section are given below content read Section( Standard ) content pdf Section( Standard ) rss read No limitations user login SiteAccess( franchise ) content read Class( File ) , Section( Standard , Media ) Please help. Cheers

If they are indeed all in the same location. The solution is probably to add a directory for the pdf files that should be private and set specific permissions on that folder (or on the original folder if all pdf files should be private to the members only)
