-
role – this attribute sets the type of the user. By default it is set to * which can be treated as "everybody". You may set this parameter to other name like user or limited_functions. The name of the user type will be directly related to the functions the user can make use of.
-
resourceType – this setting defines the resources handled in CKFinder. A resource type is nothing more than a way to group files under different paths, each having different configuration settings (like Images, Flash, Files). By default it is set to * which means that all resources are available.
-
folder – this setting determines where the restrictions will be used. By declaring a folder name you specify the place you want to put your restrictions on. By default it is set to /, so no folder is set.
-
folder* and file* options – these variables are of Boolean type and can be set to true or false. The true setting enables an option, false disables it.
- other information – it is possible to define numerous ACL entries. All attributes are optional. Subfolders inherit their default settings from their parents' definitions.
