<p>There is the File Type Limit plugin - but this would be time consuming to add to all of our asset factories, and to remember to add to all new asset factories, as well as any time a change is needed, we would have to again go through all of these asset factories and update.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Asset-Factory/available-plug-ins/file-checker-plug-in.html">File Limit Plug-in</a> was created specifically for this scenario as you mentioned. It is the only way to prevent users from uploading certain types of files at the current time.</p>
<p>You mentioned that you are looking to make it so that certain users/groups/roles have more freedom than others when it comes to uploading certain files. This could be done by applying the plug-in to an Asset Factory, then limiting which groups have the ability to use that particular Asset Factory (via the Applicable Groups field).</p>
<p>Hope this helps.<br />

We need a way to set a default set of permitted file types, and then a way to allow specific users/groups/roles to have additional file types available to them.<br />

<p>I guess I will add this to Cascade Ideas?</p>
