This WordPress plugin allows users to mark a file in the Media Library for secure download. 
If protection is toggled on, you can specify which user roles should have access to the file.
Note that the user role <code>guest</code> is used by this plugin to represent users who are not logged in. 
This role is not a default WordPress role and created on-the-fly by the plugin.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>A simple checkbox allows you to toggle protection on or off for any (non-image) file.</li>
<li>When toggled on, you can specify which user roles can download the file. Admins always have access.</li>
<li>If a user is not allowed to download a file, you can optionally redirect them to a different page.</li>
<li>The plugin provides an overview of all protected files in a sortable table.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important note</h4>
The plugin works by (re)writing .htaccess to allow or disallow access to the specified file(s). 
Please make sure that the server is configured to allow modification of the .htaccess file! 
The plugin will also add new rewrite rules to WordPress and use the URL <code>/secure-download/</code> to serve files.
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install the plugin via the WordPress plugin repository or by uploading the plugin files to your server.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.</li>
<li>Go to the Media Library and select a file you want to protect.</li>
<li>In the file’s attachment details, towards the bottom of the page, you will see a section titled “Protect this file?”, with a checkbox “Enable protection”.</li>
<li>Check the box to enable protection for the file.</li>
<li>Below the checkbox, you can select which user roles should have access to the file. Admins always have access.</li>
</ol>
You can manage the settings for the plugin by selecting “Resonanz Secure Downloads” in the sidebar menu. 
You can select which file extensions should be protected. You can also specify a redirect page for users who are not allowed to download the file. 
If a user lacks permission to download a file, they will be redirected to the specified page.
On the page “Protected Files”, you can see an overview of all files that are protected by the plugin. 
This allows you to easily manage and review the files that have been marked for secure download.

NEW IN VERSION 2.0.0: Users with a custom role will now only see the posts or pages they are assigned to. We’ve also streamlined the admin interface for easier configuration, and included additional instructions to help you get the proper capabilities assigned to your custom roles.
Custom Access Roles allows you to create, edit and delete custom roles for editing content. It was created to fill a need for a role editor plugin that is focused on providing easy-to-use admin tools for restricting content editing access. It is not concerned with restricting viewing access on the front end.
It is specifically intended for large sites with multiple content editors, where editors (by role, not individually) need to be restricted to only being able to edit specific areas of the site.
With this plugin, administrators of large sites have relatively fine-grained control over which user roles can edit which content, making it possible to manage a team of editors without concern that they will (accidentally or deliberately) edit content they should not have access to.
You can define a fully customized set of capabilities for each role, along with defining a specific set of post categories, pages, and custom post types to which those capabilities apply. For all other content, the role will have read-only access.
Custom Access Roles provides an easy interface for managing these roles and capabilities, with checkboxes for each capability grouped by the standard roles they’re associated with, plus checkboxes for each post category, page, and custom post type, presented in an organized hierarchy.

Custom Access Roles

Create custom roles with editing capability for only specific pages, categories and post types.
