penra wrote Your answer sounds logical but doesn't explain how you have set permissions on the document module to use that subfolder. Please expound on your solution or maybe one on the dev team could deign to participate in the discussion?

The documents module automatically creates a folder under I believe Documents/<moduleid>.  YOu can then grant permissions to that directory.

same issue here.

added the module.  added permissions to edit the module.  created a folder.  added read and write permissions to folder.

no 'upload file' link.  if i temp make the user an admin the link is there.

any ideas on this?

Sorry uglyb0b, no go. I am having the same issue, and nothing has worked so far.

I created a subfolder in the Root called "Documents" (I can't see a Documents/<moduleid> folder in my file manager, even after adding the Documents module). I then created a security role that was automatically assigned to all of my users. I gave that role the permission to view/write to the subfolder. When logged in as this role, I can see the drop-downs to select files, but nothing to upload a new file.

I deleted the original role I made, and remade it with a different name and without automatically assigning it. I then manually assigned one of my users to the role, and recreated the folder permissions. Again, there is no "Upload New Document" link. I made sure the module itself had the right permission settings (for the new role to be able to edit it), but still no link.

I am using version 3.0.13, with the default Documents module in that version.
