Download and File Manager Group Definitions

The group definitions are done using the group management interface, which allows administrators to create multiple groups, and in each group to include the users from the existing WordPress users table.

Once groups are defined in the WordPress Download and File Manager plugin, administrators can set the groups that can add downloads and the groups that can view them. In addition, the administrators can name the group, choose the users for the groups and add or remove users from groups as needed.
