Meanwhile would it be possible to set visibility by usergroup?
That is have a section of my Library for usergroup1 another for usergroup2 - each group can see their own sector + the open areas for all members
usergroup mods can see all
some open area Library visible to all members?

Categories inside each of the restricted access areas.

In replying please speak slowly in a clear voice! I am not a coder.

Yes, this is possible and was built in from the start. Tries to speak slowly...

LDM 'piggy backs' on the vbulletin forums permissions system to decide who can see categories and entries. Each category and each entry can have an optional 'associated forum'.

If the category or entry has an associated forum, LDM will only show it to users who have 'can view forum' and 'can view others posts' permissions for that forum.

So, in order to make a section of your site available to usergroup 1, you must

- Choose (or create) a vbulletin forum and give the required permissions to usergroup 1 an dnot to other usergroups.
- Edit the LDM category/categories, and set the 'Parent Forum' to this category

This is explained in more detail in the LDM wiki.
