Do you want to place the special upload in the same category as other entries, or not? If you are happy to have the open entry in its own category, then it's easy - you just give that category different access permissions (ldm/edit category/user group permissions).

Otherwise, you need to use the forums-based permissions system.

These are explained in the wiki - get back to me if it's not clear.

Thanks for the response. I read the wiki and understand how both work, but from what I'm reading in the Wiki, I don't understand how to actually give individual permissions to one entry.

The default permission for the category is to deny access to unregistered users, but I want unregistered users to be able to download one entry within that category, and not sure how to go about doing that (without giving unregistered users access to everything in that

Do I have to create a special usergroup that has read permissions for guests, but then I'm not sure how I would apply the permissions to that one specific entry (and not the entire category).
