Hello,

I am using Editor in my application, We have many Organization in my application.
Below is my requirement.

1. All Images for an org is restricted, i.e., Images in one org cant be accessed by other org web pages.
2. I need to create, folder for each org, where as this folder is not accessible by other org context via, Telerik Editor.

Could you please tell me how to achieve this?

Thank you,
Sreedhar

Hi Sree,

It is standard practice to have your users' IDs stored in a database of your CMS, and create a specific folder for each user when a user account is created. Then, when a user is logged and wishes to use the editor, setting the user's folder for this particular logged user is a matter of a single line of code, such as

  RadEditor1.ImageManager.ViewPaths = New String() {"~/Images/" + LOGGEDUSERID }

Thus each user will have access only to his/her folder, and be able to do whatever you let them do, without interfering with other users (and yes, if you have 100 users you will need to create 100 folders).

The only other way is for you to implement your own image manager with your own security and user authentication/authorization that handles your custom logic of determining and distinguishing what user uploaded what file, and what user has the right to delete what file.
