Make possible to keep core permission next to GRANT

Hi, and sorry for my late reply.

Yes, PFDP by default prevents downloading.
You must authorize what can be downloaded, item-by-item.
As far as I can see, this is working as designed.

But I think I'll give a deeper reading at Your message in the next days. It probably makes sense.

Thanks,

Thank you. I've created tests.

Do not revoke permission if another module grants for any reason.
I think PFDP should just grant more permission, but not remove any 3rd party permission.

Hi,

You say:
"
I think PFDP should just grant more permission, but not remove any 3rd party permission.
"
but this is exactly what an access module is for :)
Whenever a private download is attempted, Drupal ask ALL of the modules to give their opinion: if any (1 is enough) module says "to me, this file should not be downloaded" the download operation is aborted.

I think You could get what You're looking for by just enabling the "Bypass" option in PFDP for specific directories.
This should make PFDP ignore any decision, thus letting others decide.

Could You please try?

Thanks,
MZ

Closing because of many months without an update.
Feel free to reopen if the issue persists.
