Assign users and permissions to folders and documents.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very helpfull if you can assign users with permissions to your 
folders, so only the selected users receive the notification emails and only 
selected users could aprove or upload a new revision or delete them.

Rights and permissions are done Redmine way, so per project. Will consider it 
in following releases. 

May be it would be better to create separate projects and subprojects to handle 
this.

Can you add a per role configuration for each folder?
I.e. add an option to define for each folder, for each role, if they can
- See the folder
- Add a document in the folder
- Edit a document in the folder
- Delete a document in the folder

This way, I could for instance create a "accounting" folder with the invoices 
related to the project, visible only to the project manager role, while the 
"specifications folder" could be visible to the "project manager", "user" and 
"programmer" roles.

That would be very useful

As I stated in my previous comment. For your needs it would be better to create 
specific subprojects for this. Because subprojects don't inherit members and 
rights from parent projects, your desired access control is possible (eg. 
Project A >> Subproject Accounting)

I know that I can do this, but it requires a lot of different subprojects for 
every project if I want to control access, for the different roles, and it is 
not convenient.

To further comment, since the documents of a subproject are not visible at the 
parent project level, it means that if I create subproject, a role, let say the 
project manager, cannot see all the documents at a glance.
He needs to go in each sub project.
And navigating between these different subprojects is not convenient.
It would be a lot better if there was one single entry point for the project, 
but the possibility to hide/show the documents each role is allowed to see.

the main idea for this request was this situation. As i told you in another 
request i'm certifying ISO 9001. The norm ask for a place to upload documents 
as a repository for the participants of the project could access if they have a 
doubt. this documents are related to process of quality. So the norm ask for 
these documents that they have to be versioned, they have to be aproved (this 
things the plugin its great) and they have to be distinguished between 4 
differents categories. Documents in development, current documents, defeated 
documents and waiting for aproval. The thing is that every folder (category) 
have to have different permissions as comment 2 said. i hope this comment add 
some details for my original request.

I agree. It would be great to be able to select a group or individuals that 
have access to a folder or file upon uploading the file/folder. Has this 
already been implemented or is it considered for a future release?

I would really love for per-document or per-folder permissions, so I could 
upload invoices for clients but not have those available to 
developers/designers on a project. I know sub-projects make this possible but 
that's kind of a pain in the neck.

Is there anywhere I could donate to a bounty for this feature? This one is 
killer for me!

Hi,

There's an estimated date to include this functionality?

It's really necessary.
