Hi all,
I've just brought up my first Drupal site and have successfully implemented LDAP support so that all my users will authenticate against my LDAP server (Active Directory).
The reason for my site is to create an Intranet for all my users across North America - specifically so they can download/upload MS-Office related files. Since File Management is the main reason for the site - what are my options. I'm wanting to be able to control which files user's can view based on what Drupal role they have been set up with.
For example, a user that has the Drupal role "TechWriter" would be able to access files tagged accessible by the users with that "TechWriter" role in their profile.
Can you recommend something for me?
Bill

This is more of a user permissions question
This is not really under file management, it's more under user permissions/access.
I'm a new user myself, and not very technical at that. But you might try here:

http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/node_privacy_byrole
Or if you want to use the book module. Try here:
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/book
You might also want to check out the Civic Space Distro of Drupal, it's made for community sites, and has a lot of useful modules already included in it.

I hope that helped some.
If not, maybe try searching the forum under user roles, user access, or user permissions.
