- role
The role is an attribute which sets the type of the user. It is set to "*" as default and you may treat as 'everybody'. You may set this parameter to other name like: 'user' or 'limited_functions'. The name of the user type will be directly connected to the function the user may use.
- resourceType
The resourceType defines the resources handled in CKFinder. A resource type is nothing more than a way to group files under different paths, each one having different configuration settings, e.g. Images, Flash, Files. It is set to '*' as default and means that all of the resources are available.
- folder
Folder determines where your limitations will be used. By placing the folders name you specify the place you want to put your restrictions in. It is set to '/' as default so no folder is set.
- folder and file options
The rest of the variables are bool type and can be set as true or false. True of course enables an option, false disables it.
- other information
Many "AccessControl" entries can be added. All attributes are optional.
Subfolders inherit their default settings from their parents' definitions.
