    Hi,

    I’m sure it has an easy solution, but can’t find it. I’ve investigated a lot of things about EE by my own. Please, help me with this one:

    As a super admin I can upload images when I create a new entrie, but when I creae a new user and then I try to upload an image the system says: “You do not have access to this upload directory”

    I’ve created a new user copying the preferences of the super admin user and I still get the message. The permissions in the ftp folder are: 777

    Could you bring some help? Thanks.

    Funny enough once I post the problem I found the solution. But sometimes it’s anoying that I have to investigate so much things.

    I have the solution, so for future users here it is:

    Admin>content administration>file upload preferences . Once there, clich on the edit icon and select the users that have access to the upload directory
