  Hi,
  
  I created a new role, gave all the rights to this role, except
  
  Manage users
  Manage permissions
  
  I also gave permissions to
  Manage files
  
  I then added a new user to this role.
  
  When I log as this user, I sometimes see the FILES link on the dashboard and on the header.
  
  Sometimes it appears, and sometimes it disappears during the same session.  It's very very erractic.
  
  Any idea ?

  Hello Zyad,
  
  If the role has ManageFiles permissions there should not be a problem to see the link.

  Exactly, but it's not working.
  That's why I posted the question on this forum.
  
  It works 1 on 2 tries.

  Hi Zyad,
  
  Unfortunately I am not able to replicate this issue locally with the latest official release of Stiefinity 3.7. Please check whether the user you use does not belong to two or more roles. The actual code that we show hide the permissions is inside Sitefinity\Admin\Default.aspx.cs
  and below is the condition
  
  if (filesLi != null && filesLink != null && !perm.CheckDemand())
  
  
  

  perm = new Telerik.Cms.Security.GlobalPermission(Telerik.Cms.Security.GlobalRights.ManageFiles);

      if (filesLi != null && filesLink != null && !perm.CheckDemand())

      {

          filesLi.Attributes["class"] += " dis";

          filesLink.Attributes["href"] = "#";

      }
