"You can also specify a specific start folder for the media section pr. user so they will only be able to upload and create medias and folders, from at certain point in the media archive."

Hi Dave,

Thanks for you reply... Yes I have already set this up for most of the users as I mentioned initially:

"I have set a media start node for some users however I really need to be able to stop users deleting most of the folders on a site."

However the thing I want to prevent is the Admin users (who need read and upload access to everything) from deleting the initial folders where all the media is located in the sub folders the other users have access to their relevant folders... This happened the other day and took quite a while to find and move the main folder back out of the bin as there is over 30GB of images!

Thanks, Jack

Hi,

You can implement the events of the mediaservice and not allow deletion of the folders.
