There is no support for this in KFM and I think this possibility should not be 
supported by KFM. KFM is a file manager working on a file system. Making one 
folder 
for multiple users can be done using symbolic links. I am no expert in linux 
rights 
on folders for specific users, but this problem should be tackled using the 
linux 
file system, not KFM. I think it is possible to run the php instance as a 
certain 
user on the linux system which might make your idea possible. But this will 
probably 
introduce some security issues and make it a very complex system. For advanced 
user 
sharing options Google docs is a nice example, but they have completely thrown 
out 
the classical file system approach on which KFM is based. The biggest problem 
for 
google docs is that they only support a very limited number of file formats. I 
don't 
know if somebody already made a system that combined these features. If you 
find it, 
please let me know, because I would be very interested. But for now my way of 
working 
is by making use of both KFM and Google docs.

I hope this answers the question.

Regards,

Benjamin

i, mean not so complex. 
The complexity can be regular over api and cms.

i mean this -> see screenshot.

This is possible, but requires substantial modifications through the whole KFM 
system. 
Many settings are based on the root directory. Will each root directory need 
its own 
settings, or should these settings apply to all of them? Making the filemanager 
like 
this will make managing it more fuzzy. I am not sure, but maybe phpXplorer is 
able to 
do things like this (http://www.webxplorer.org/phpXplorer/www/). I do not have 
the 
time to make this work. You can add this as a feature request for KFM2.

one possible solution is to implement symbolic links. does that sound like a 
solution?
