My apologies if this has been asked before elsewhere or in this forum.
I want to create a members area where a list of documents is displayed and which registered users can download. Administrators will be able to track downloads to see which users have accessed them.
Is this possible within the core of Umbraco or is their a macro available to achieve this.
Media in Umbraco V4.x is unprotected so when you know the url you can still download a PDF without being logged in. I wrote the mediaprotect package that allows you to protect media in the same simple way as you want to protect content. It's commercial but you don't need to have to code anything and it tracks downloads also.
And you might be interested in Contour as well since there is a member tools package available where you can create registration forms for your users. The contour package is from Umbraco and is also commercial.
Members area in Umbraco

It is possible but you need to write your own login code and protected area content etc and I would guess the bit to track downloads etc.
You can tap into the API to do what you need.
Hope this helps.
