Hello,
I’m trying to achieve something using the Download manager plugin and hoping you can guide me on how to do it.

I want to upload files and have them protected to be downloaded only by certain user roles I’ve already configured.
I was able to achieve that via the plugin interface, but I need to get a link for each file to add to a custom field I created so that it shows up on my page
https://share.nmblc.cloud/1736183147088-screenshot-cellmicrosystems_boldfocus_com-2025_01_06-12_05_34.png

The link on my page will appear only to the user role I configured, which is already set in Elementor.

My question is after I upload a file to the Download manager plugin, how do I get the direct link to add to my custom field?

Also, if someone has teh direct link to this file but doesn’t have the user privileges I set when uploading it will he be able to access the file or not?

Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response.

I tried that and it links to the file but it doesn’t prevent unauthorized access to the file.

If you click on this link, you will be able to download it even though you’re not logged in to my site,

For user login restriction you can’t directly use URL like this, it will be better if you use shortcode for the file/package. Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and kind regards
