Need help with Client Module
mdnky - February 16, 2007 - 05:34
I'm attempting to provide a secure area for the storage of files. The files are somewhat sensitive, so the idea is each user will have their own "spot" that no one else (besides superusers) can see or modify.
It's for a Real Estate website, so we can provide clients with access to their contracts and other important forms online.
Ideally when we add a new user to the system, we'd want it to automatically allow them access to their files or possibly a specific page which would hold links to their files.
Are there any modules out there that would provide such a feature? I've tried tac_lite, but the way I'd have to do it would be too time consuming each time a new client was added.
Thanks in advance,

Does private or privatespace
Does private or privatespace module work for you?
Possibly
That might work. I had to reinstall the system (downgrade to 4.7) and have that module now installed. The problem now is I can't find any decent documentation on the module.
So with this privatespace module, I'm guessing that I need to figure out a way to have the privatespace point to a directory not within the public domain of the server. First though, I need to figure out how to get this module working properly.
Best-case scenario is when a new client is signed, a "manager" inputs a new account from within Drupal for the client (John Doe) and everything is setup. So I need to figure out a way to get their "space" automatically setup, possibly based off their userid. So when John Doe is created, a space specifically for him in a folder called JohnDoe is automatically created.
Anyone have ideas on this? Without the documentation for the module, its basically guess work and trail & error right now.
