Exclusive File Feature Query
|
Is it possible to upload a file (PDF, for example) and have it only be accessible to members with full access? For example, our Club wants to post a membership list/roster, but does not want it viewable or downloadable by non-members or members with limited access (NP) . If this feature does not exist, it might be a good one to consider.

Dennis,
Is it possible to upload a file (PDF, for example) and have it only be accessible to members with full access? It is not possible to have it be otherwise. Neither Files or Photos in Groups.io (or Y!Groups for that matter) can be accessed without logging in as a member of the group. ? For example, our Club wants to post a membership list/roster, but does not want it viewable or downloadable by non-members or members with limited access (NP). You can allow your group members to access the group's Members list, and/or member Directory, as an alternative to using a file.

Dennis,
-- Oh, I think I see the question now.
I misread that as (NC), not confirmed. NC members have only public access - the same as someone not logged in.
NP means Cannot Post - Override: not allowed to post. It does not restrict their access to the content of the group in any way.
So what you want sounds like a new kind of membership, one with limited access to the group's resources. That doesn't exist, at present all members are equal apart from their Posting Privilege.?
?
To have it considered you should post it in the beta group. That's the official "suggestion box" for groups.io. If you want, you are welcome to keep posting about it here to refine and flesh out the idea somewhat before you do. Some obvious questions: what are they restricted from? how is this limit applied and removed?

Tom,
Are photos in messages in a public archive visible to non- members? Yes. ? Are files linked in messages in a public archive accessible to non-members? Linked? If you mean attached, also yes. If you mean a hyperlink, maybe. Not if the file itself is stored in the group's Files section.
