System - Block Access
This plugin disables access to specified parts of the Joomla installation if a configured security key is not provided. Just append the security key as a parameter to the URL (e. g. https://example.com/?ThisIsMySpecialSecurityKey or https://example.com/?key1=value1&key2=value2&ThisIsMySpecialSecurityKey) to be able to enter the secured website part.
The key must be provided once per session, so if the user closes the browser window or he logs out or the server (e. g. Joomla software) terminates the session, you must re-provide the key once.
JV-LinkManager
JV-LinkManager for Joomla 4 is a Free Joomla extension that lets you manage keywords via backend, associate links with the keywords, and dynamically hyperlink those keywords in the site frontend during page loads!. JV-LinkManager will automatically link keywords to their URLs and manage Joomla Links, all from one central place! JV-LinkManager can do this magic in Joomla articles, modules, templates, plugins, and all 3rd party Joomla extension content.

We are using JMP File Manager version 1.3.3 on our Joomla 6.1.1 website and need your assistance with configuring folder-level access restrictions.
Requirement:
We want users assigned to the TeamMarketing user group to access only the docs folder. They should not be able to view or access other directories, such as administrator, components, images, modules, and other folders in the Joomla root directory.
Current Configuration:
Joomla Version: 6.1.1
JMP File Manager Version: 1.3.3
Configured Path: .
Advanced Permissions:
[TeamMarketing]docs
[Editor]docs
The TeamMarketing user is assigned to the TeamMarketing group, and the TeamMarketing group is nested under the Publisher group in our Joomla user-group hierarchy.
However, after saving the configuration and logging in as the TeamMarketing user, the file manager still displays the entire Joomla root directory and its folders instead of restricting access to the docs folder.
We have also reviewed the component permissions in Joomla Global Configuration, but the folder-level restriction is still not working as expected.
Could you please clarify the following?
Is our current Advanced Permissions syntax correct for JMP File Manager version 1.3.3?
How should we configure the component to allow the TeamMarketing group to access only the docs folder?
Does the component support restricting the root directory and hiding all other folders based on Joomla user groups?
Are there any additional settings, permission rules, or code changes required to achieve this functionality?
We can provide screenshots of our current configuration and the issue for further investigation.
We would appreciate your guidance on the correct configuration or a recommended fix.
Thank you for your support.
