    I have added menu items in the admin menu to allow my client to upload video files to the server in the products area of their site. Since the files need to be protected, I have protected the 'upload' folder using new_rewrite. When I try to access the upload page (which is located in the protected "upload" folder) it redirects me to the amember login page as if I don't have access to protected folders. If I remove protection, it works fine. Does the admin section of amember not have access to protected folders?

    Hi ryan, try creating a user and assigning that product (with access to the protected folder) to the new user you created.

    Try accessing again while logged in as the new user. It should work now.

    aMember Admin is not a "member" on the system, so you cant access the site. You will need to create a member and add a product to the member to test it.
