Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to protect a list of downloadable documents, using members to protect who can download what.

I am a bit confused here, but this is the situation:

- Downloads A to Z
- Clients A to F

client A can access
download A - B -D -Q

client B can access
download A - F- E - G - Q

and so on...

I could create membergroups for each download and add these to the member that needs access the download.

If I create a download, I protect it with the corresponding membergroup. Go into he membersection and add the group to each member.

That should work, but i would need to create a lot of membergroups and seems a bit too much ( 30 membergroups corresponding to a download, growing with 6 or 12 a year).

What I would prefer is that I could protect a download with 1 membertype belonging to 1 membergroup and differentiate based on the memberproperties (boolean).

So the membertype would have a property for each download, if a new one is added, add the property.Go into the membersection, change the boolean property on the member.

the problem here is that I have no idea how to connect a page/download to the memberproperties.
There is no datatype that I could use to reach the memberproperties ...

Any ideas on this or am I making too complex???

thx,
Len.
