How To Disallow Admins from Viewing Others Files and Folders

Disallow Admins from Viewing Others Files and Folders

By default, in uKnowva the Admin users have access to all folders / files created by other users.

If you want to change this setting to disallow admin users access if the files is not shared with them, then you can do either of the following: 

If you are using uKnowva 2.4.2 and above, you just need to go to uKnowva ConfigurationàGlobal ConfigurationàDocuments settings and set the Admin groups setting

 

If you are using uKnowva 2.4.1 or below, then you just need to fire the following query on your mysql DB

update
`#__extensions`
set params = REPLACE(params,'"7",','')
where element = 'com_uvwdocs'

After that you need to clear your uKnowva cache, you can simply do so by going to Global configuration and save the configuration once as it is (we will be coming up with a cache manager soon, but till that time this is a work around ).

NOTE: 1. PLEASE REPLACE #__ BY YOUR DATABASE PREFIX

          2. PLEASE BACKUP YOUR TABLE ONCE, IN CASE YOU WANT TO ROLL BACK LATER
