Access to a given asset is only granted if the user has view-permissions for the given source (this can be set in the user- or group-settings). The asset source folder should be moved out of the web root folder so the files are never accessible without this plugin. 4.1.2(2y ago)353.5k8[3 issues](https://github.com/tikiatua/internal-assets-plugin/issues)MITPHPPHP ^8.0 Since Jul 4Pushed 1y ago3 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/tikiatua/internal-assets-plugin)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/saccilottoconsulting/craft-internal-assets)[ RSS](/packages/saccilottoconsulting-craft-internal-assets/feed)WikiDiscussions craft4 Synced 3d ago READMEChangelog (8)Dependencies (1)Versions (8)Used By (0) Internal Assets plugin for Craft CMS 4.x / 5.x ============================================== [](#internal-assets-plugin-for-craft-cms-4x--5x) A simple plugin to restrict access to assets for permitted users only. Access to a given asset is only granted if the user has view-permissions for the given source (this can be set in the user- or group-settings). The asset source folder should be moved out of the web root folder so the files are never accessible without this plugin. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This plugin was tested with Craft CMS Version 4.4 and Version 5.0.4 Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install the plugin, follow these instructions. 1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project: ``` cd /path/to/project ``` 2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin: ``` composer require saccilottoconsulting/craft-internal-assets ``` 3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Internal Assets. Internal Assets Overview ------------------------ [](#internal-assets-overview) The plugin installs a custom url matcher, which captures all requests on /internal/\*. The request is then checked against all volumes to which the current user has view access. A 401 error (unauthorized) will be returned, if the user is not logged in or does not have access to the given volume. Matching of the volume is perfomed by comparing the url with the public path of the file system of the volumes that the user has access to. If the file is found, then the contents of the file are streamed to the client. Otherwise a 404 error (not found) is returned. Configuring Internal Assets --------------------------- [](#configuring-internal-assets) There are currently no configuration options for the plugin. However, you need to enable publicPaths on the filesystem that you want to use and prefix the url path with /internal, e.g. /internal/assets Internal Assets Roadmap ----------------------- [](#internal-assets-roadmap) The following additional features are currently planned - Allow the use of image transformations on assets (currently not supported) - Enable custom path prefixes for internal assets - Support mp4 files on mobile devices Brought to you by [Ramon Saccilotto](https://github.com/tikiatua) ### Health Score 39 — LowBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance25 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 90.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
