Is there a way to upload files to "Shared files" without giving permissions to change setting

I noticed that when you give someone permissions to upload files to the "Shared Files" module that they also have access to the settings option for that page.  Is there a way to give them just the ability to manage files but not change the setting.

You can block a users access to feature instance settings but only in a global fashion so if you block him he won't be able to get to settings in any feature instance.

The way to do it is:

1. Create a new Role named NoSettings or whatever you like

2. Add the user(s) who should not be able to get to settings to this role.

3. Go into Administration > Site Settings > Security > Permissions and check your new role under "Roles NOT allowed to edit feature instance settings.

Hope that helps,

Joe
