    Dear All,

    Presently, I have the scenario of File Explorer to show the specific root folders and corresponding files. Here, for the above condition, I am using RAD File Explorer. Sametime, I already implemented the sepearte permissions like View Folder, Delete Folder, create Folder, rename Folder in DB Level. The same permissions implemented for file level also.

    Now, the requirement need to apply the permissions to the RAD File Explorer control to control the type of permissions based on the current user. Ex: If he has View Folder Permission he can view only the particular folder and files. The remaining folders need to be hide. The same need to apply for the file level.

    Please, if anybody have the better solution.. help me..

    Thanks,
    Sheik Aladin

    Hi Sheik,

    The latest moment of the page life cycle in which you can configure RadFileExplorer is Page_Load event. You can configure RadFileExplorer to display different folders for different users as follows:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string loggedUser = Session["LOGGEDUSER"];
     
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = new string[] {"~\files\\"+loggedUser, "~\images\\"+loggedUser};
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths = new string[] {"~\files\\"+loggedUser+"\uploads", "~\images\\"+loggedUser+"\uploads"};
        RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths = new string[] {"~\files\\"+loggedUser, "~\images\\"+loggedUser};
    }

    In addition, if you want to just filter specific files and/or folders depending on the logged user, I believe this KB article will be of great help.

    Sincerely yours,
