FileManagerFileAccessRule Class

Specifies an access rule for a file within a file manager.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

public class FileManagerFileAccessRule :
    FileManagerAccessRuleBase

Remarks

ASPxFileManager allows you to define access permissions for folders and files using a set of folder/file access rules. Access rules for files are denoted by FileManagerFileAccessRule objects. The set of rules are contained within file manager’s FileManagerSettingsPermissions.AccessRules collection.

The FileManagerFileAccessRule members allow you to specify a path pattern (PathPattern) and role (FileManagerAccessRuleBase.Role) to which a rule is applied, and lists permissions (allowed or denied actions) associated with this rule. You can specify permissions to download (FileManagerFileAccessRule.Download), and edit (FileManagerAccessRuleBase.Edit) a file. The rule priority is determined by its index (CollectionItem.Index) within an access rules collection.

Concept

Example

Web Forms (in markup):

<dx:ASPxFileManager ID="ASPxFileManager1" runat="server">    
    <SettingsPermissions>
        <AccessRules>
            <dx:FileManagerFileAccessRule Edit="Deny" PathPattern="*.docx" />
            <dx:FileManagerFolderAccessRule Role="Administrator" EditContents="Allow" Path="Documents" />
        </AccessRules>
    </SettingsPermissions>
</dx:ASPxFileManager>

Web Forms (in code):

ASPxFileManager fm = new ASPxFileManager();
...
FileManagerFileAccessRule fileRule = new FileManagerFileAccessRule();
fileRule.PathPattern = "*.docx";
fileRule.Edit = Rights.Deny;

FileManagerFolderAccessRule folderRule= new FileManagerFolderAccessRule();
folderRule.Role = "Administrator";
folderRule.EditContents = Rights.Allow;

FileManager.SettingsPermissions.AccessRules.Add(fileRule);
FileManager.SettingsPermissions.AccessRules.Add(folderRule);
...

MVC:

@Html.DevExpress().FileManager( settings => {
    settings.Name = "fileManager";

    FileManagerFileAccessRule fileRule = new FileManagerFileAccessRule();
    fileRule.PathPattern = "*.docx";
    fileRule.Edit = Rights.Deny;

    FileManagerFolderAccessRule folderRule= new FileManagerFolderAccessRule();
    folderRule.Role = "Administrator";
    folderRule.EditContents = Rights.Allow;

    FileManager.SettingsPermissions.AccessRules.Add(fileRule);
    FileManager.SettingsPermissions.AccessRules.Add(folderRule);
    ...
}).BindToFolder(Model).GetHtml()
