Hi Ryan,

In the profile for our frontend users, we assigned the File Directory Path based on usertype (and we have a lot of different usertypes according to geographic locations). This is working very well, eg. users in the user group Brussels only have access to the folder /brussels and those in the group Antwerp to the folder /antwerp

Later on, while the site was in use for some years, we were asked to add an extra level of user groups for users who are in 2 user groups at the same time: a location (eg. Brussels) and a country level, eg. Belgium. We found out that the File Directory Path that is assigned to these users may vary: in some cases it is the location (brussels), in other cases it may be the country level (/belgium). However we need all users to have access only to the folder of their location (- user group); we do not want any folders on country level.

I also found out that the folder that is assigned, depends on which of the user groups was created first (has the lowest id): the location folder or the country folder.

Would there be a way to force the path assignment system only to select a location folder in this situation?

Kind regards, Frits

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately I cannot solve it using your information.

Originally, the location and the country users shared the same JCE profile. I created two separate profiles and assigned them to the different parent user groups of the location and country user groups. I also made sure that the location profile is first in the list of JCE profiles.

However, if the country user group has a lower id  than the location user group, then the country user group is still determining the assignment of the image folder.

Because I assigned the JCE profiles to the user groups based on parent user groups, I also tried selecting the actual (child) user groups for both the location and the country. This did not change the behavior. Besides, the preferred assignment method for me would be the parent groups as we have lots of location user groups.

I also checked if I might misunderstand the profiles ordering (ascending / descending) and swapped their positions in the list, this made no difference either.

Kind regards, Frits
