Access protection for directories in your file list
Overview
To protect downloads from your file list against unauthorized access, you can use our automated access protection by creating the folders tustudent, tuemployee or tumember at the top level of your file list. If a user accesses a file in one of these folders, they must enter their RPTU account and password.
The folders restrict access to the following user groups:
- tustudent - Enrolled students at RPTU
- tuemployee - Employees at RPTU (professors, academic and non-academic staff, trainees)
- tumember - Enrolled students and employees at RPTU
Protection only on files not on pages
Currently (as of 1/2024) we do not offer access protection for individual pages in Typo3. Exceptions are currently some individual pages of the RPTU administration.
An extension of the functionality for other pages is on the list of desired functionalities and still requires a good concept.

- tumember - Enrolled students and employees at RPTU
Instructions
- Create a folder with the name tustudent, tuemployee or tumember directly in the first level of your directory tree.
- Create any substructures in the folders.
- All files and directories below these directories are automatically password-protected.
Important for effective file protection:
Make sure that the folders remain at the top level of your file tree. Otherwise password protection is no longer guaranteed.
