<p>This WordPress plugin allows users to mark a file in the Media Library for secure download.<br />
If protection is toggled on, you can specify which user roles should have access to the file.</p>
<p>Note that the user role <code>guest</code> is used by this plugin to represent users who are not logged in.<br />
This role is not a default WordPress role and created on-the-fly by the plugin.</p>
<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>
<p>The plugin works by (re)writing .htaccess to allow or disallow access to the specified file(s).<br />
Please make sure that the server is configured to allow modification of the .htaccess file!<br />
The plugin will also add new rewrite rules to WordPress and use the URL <code>/secure-download/</code> to serve files.</p>
<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>
<p>You can manage the settings for the plugin by selecting “Resonanz Secure Downloads” in the sidebar menu.<br />
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.<br />
If a user lacks permission to download a file, they will be redirected to the specified page.</p>
<p>On the page “Protected Files”, you can see an overview of all files that are protected by the plugin.<br />
This allows you to easily manage and review the files that have been marked for secure download.</p>

<p>Currently the plugin recognizes four roles, in order of seniority:</p>
<pre><code>* Administrator - the built-in wordpress admin role
* Shop manager - the built-in woocommerce shop manager role
* Processor - a role created by this plugin that is meant to be a lesser shop manager role
* Customer - the built-in role that doesn't have access to the admin views
</code></pre>
<p>As a result, the plugin does the following:</p>
<pre><code>* Enables Shop manager to add and edit users of the Customer role 
* Enables Processor to add and edit users of the Customer role 
* Enables Administrator to control which wp-admin menus the Shop manager or Processor can see
</code></pre>
<h3>Install/Config</h3>
<pre><code>* Install the plugin
* Go to WooCommerce > Permissions Plus > Settings
* Select the dropdown role you wish to edit (admin is blocked for safety purpose)
* Select the menu checkboxes you wish to hide based on selected role
* Hit Save
</code></pre>
