Creating directories isn't the road block for me - it is the ability to move blocks of files via directory drag and drop. Since security is largely based on path this is a feature that non-admins should not have. A local admin role requires much modification of the code. This is a feature request that I'm postponing.

Version: 6.x-2.10-rc5 » 6.x-2.11

There is an approach to allowing local administration for version webfm-6.x-2.11 as a patch under the issue #394570: New Directory create/manage permission .

But this patch is not perfect as it also enables 'adding to database' icons but doesn't provide the permissions for using this functionality.

I think improving that patch of #394570: New Directory create/manage permission , moving the user interface to the admin/user/settings page to allow per role permission, use the permission name "administer webfm for role" and rework the database icon permission would be the ideal solution.
