As far as I know WebFM allows only for user role specific access rules. I am working on a project that requires private folder access for each user. This means that I have to create a unique role for every user I add. This is not such a big issue when there are 10-20 users, but when the user count reaches thousands and even hundreds of thousands of users, this will be a problem. I was wondering how difficult it would be to allow WebFM to specify private folder access per user and not per user role? Is even possible at all? This is a time sensitive project. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on this matter.

Not a trivial task. At some future point I might consider your proposal but I cannot undertake this any time soon. If you want to take a stab at it yourself, or pay someone to implement, I will gladly review and commit a patch that works seamlessly with the existing code.

I have done something like this for the 6.x version with the help of the token module. See this rough patch. Have you switched to 6.x yet or is this still an issue?

As per #803722: Cease support of Drupal 5? support for D4 and D5 has been closed. Sorry, please upgrade to Drupal 6. If you think this issue still applies with Version 6.x please reopen this issue with correct version tag.

Thank you! :-)
