When I am logged in Umbraco backoffice and try to access some protected file, I am always redirected to the media's login page. I was wondering if it is possible to show protected files to umbraco users (admin). In the system I am working on, administrators create media files and assign permissions to member groups, however, they are unable to download and view the files. I am aware of the showimagesForUmbracoUsers setting, however it seems to be working only for images.
Currently it's not possible. The image option was only built in because otherwise the content was broken. Personally I think it's better to know that the file is really protected than to download it easily.
What you can do as a work-around is to create a membergroup Admin and assign that group on every protected document/folder so Umbraco user only needs to remember one additional account.
I was just hoping for something like "showProtectedMediasForUmbracoUsers" setting :) Thank you very much for the workaround, I will create a new group for administrators.
Show protected medias for Umbraco users
Hi everyone,
