I'm using the default Image/File Manager that came with CMSMS 1.7.

I need to allow editors to add files/images but I don't want them to be able to delete or overwrite. I figure the delete part is easy enough by removing the button in the code itself but overwriting is a toughie.

Have you done your homework with Group Permissions??

'Modify Files' is the only permission that I can see that relates specifically to the file/image manager and that gives you the authority to delete/overwrite, not just add.

Is there something that I'm missing or will I have to find something else, such as an upload script?

Judging from the lack of replies, this is apparently not possible from within the core package of CMSMS.

I suppose I need to make a feature suggestion to expand control of permissions for the file/image manager.
