[SOLVED][Drupal FCKeditor] How to enable Browse Server button for non admin users

| | 1 min read

The Drupal FCKeditor by default allows only the admin user to access the Browse Server buttons to upload files. This is done as a security precaution. Many Drupal users have requested for a method to enable the Browse Server button for non admin users who can be trusted. If you need this feature in the FCKeditor in your Drupal website then continue reading.

Here is the fix.

  • Go to the permissions page of your Drupal site
  • Next allow "file upload" permissions for your desired users. (This can be a security concern unless you trust those users)

There is another way

  • Go to IMCE settings [admin/config/media/imce]
  • Edit the profiles listed there
  • An far less tedious way would be to allow other roles to use the user-1 settings.

Hope that helps.
