Member List to show only special Group(s)/restrict uploads

Hiho,

we have an website where sensible personal data is shared between
forum members. To keep everything secure, we created forum user groups
which are able to access the forums. The members register and after this
admins talk to new users and add them to the special group afterwards.

Now, two issues:

  • The forum member list shows all forum users and I can only filter
    this bei role (normal/admin…) I do need to have the list to show only
    the users of the selected GROUP als showing every new/”normal” user
    sets the special group users under stress as they fear for there privacy/security.

    Is there a way I can add a filter (maybe via function if necessary) to only show
    the special forum group in the member list? It is really very important for the
    participants.

  • I have checked the checkbox for “show uploads only logged in users”.
    Unfortunately I still can open files when not logged in, if I have the full
    path of the files. How can I secure the forum member uploads from being
    accessed by outstanders and/plus can I restrict access to the special forum
    user group?

Thank you very much. Because the persons in the forum are vulnarable, theses
features are very important for us and every hint wellcome.

Best regards

Hello @nici

Both restrictions are currently not possible and require bigger changes in the code of the user-list-logic. The same holds for the upload-access for which you have to set-up server-side access-filtering by adding a custom .htaccess-file or implementing an additional download-layer which is used to download files.
