Hello. I am looking into building a small site for my companies clients using EE. Our clients will have the ability to log in to a user account. I’m looking at using Solspaces User plugin. Once logged in, the client will be able to view/download media files that we create and upload for them. Multiple clients will have the ability to access the same files and we don’t want to upload multiple instances of the file, therefor we need a good way to associate a file with multiple clients or vise versa. I’m a little new to ExpressionEngine and so I was wondering if any of you could point me in a practical way to accomplish this?

Solspace’s User module has the ability to assign EE categories to Member Groups.

First you’d need to set up some Member Groups in EE that cover all your client types, eg “Retail”, “Wholesale”, whatever you need.

Then set up an EE Category Group + interest categories for your downloads, in the User module assign what categories each Member Group has access to. On the download page you could then display downloads available for the logged in member by category, that would only show categories + downloads according to the users Member Group.

Does that make sense?

This does make sense. Thanks. I’ll give this a try.
