Suppose you have a store through which you provide various courses to your registered students. There are various confidential files on your website that shouldn’t be accessible to your students but only to certain people like teachers, admins, etc. At
times you would want to grant access to particular course material to specific students based on the tags assigned to them in the Shopify store, their domain, etc. This can be achieved with our Shopify File Restriction application.
Example: You have files in your store that is specific for teachers, students, and admins. Suppose you have created 3 separate files such that all these files are at the same level in the hierarchy and can be accessed by only
the authorized user.
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. Teachers will be able to access
only the file meant for teachers. But the admin can access all the files preset on the Shopify store.
