I'm not sure how to explain this, but I'll try. I had installed WebFM with the hope that I could have different roles uploading files to different directories. These roles should have access to create folders within their own tree. So for example, if I have the following roles:

planner
admin
owner

... I would create a subfolder for each of them off of the WebFM Root folder and assign their role with access to upload files. This works fine. But I also want that role to be able to create/delete/rename directories under their folder tree.

Can this be done with the current WebFM? Or is this a new feature request?

Thanks in advance.

Only users with "administer webfm" permission have CRUD capability wrt directories. Such a user isn't restricted to a particular role (root directory). A "role" admin who is restricted to a particular root directory is a feature request.

Okay, turning this into a feature request. I think there would be great value in separating the admin role from the ability to create directories in the user's tree. I don't know what that would take. But you seem to be pretty on-the-ball with this module. I believe in your ability to bring it about in the next version.

Thanks for an awesome module! It's a fantastic contribution to the drupal community!

Anyone else think this would be a useful mod?

Just wondering, is this feature already available? I haven't been able to configure anything like this (maybe because it doesn't exist yet). Anyway, I would like to see this feature being implemented.
