Why Restrict Shopify store files to specific users?

Suppose you have a store through which you provide various courses to your registered students. Various confidential files on your website shouldn’t be accessible to your students but only to certain people like teachers, admins, etc. This can be achieved with our Shopify File Restriction application.

Example: You have files in your store that are specific for teachers, students, and admins. If you allow a student to access the student file then he will be able to access only the student file but he won't be able to access other files which in this case are teacher and admin files.
