Upload PDF files to registered users page[SOLVED]

[JaymeNYC]

I'm trying to create that will only be accessible to registered users.  I would like to create the users myself instead of having them create there own accounts and I would like to easily upload PDF files to the page.  What would be the easiest way to do this? I wouldn't be the one using my site for this feature, so it would have to be pretty easy to understand for some1 that doesnt know much about the CMS

you need CustomContent and FrontEndUsers modules to secure the pages/site, and then use the built-in Front End File Management (Uploads) module to manage the uploads.

thx 4 the help! I have the login area on the page I want, but I can't figure out how to actually add the users to Front End Users.  Can any1 help witht his part?

I believe that you first need to create a group, then you can add users. The help file included with the frontend users module has instructions.

I see I have to create a property first, but what exactly is a property? I've read the help file and it doesnt clear it up much

[jmcgin51]

a property is anything associated with the user (address, phone, email address, eye color, etc.)

unfortunately, I don't think you can set up users with ONLY username/password (the default properties)
