Description

To allow groups to see a picture or a video stored as a file in Tiki it is necessary to enable "Can download files (tiki_p_download_files)".
On the technical point of view, allowing to download a file store in a file gallery allow to view this file content on a page if the file is a media.

But this is quite confusing for common mortal and new admins. Many time I saw people stuck with this.

For example, an admin want to display a image from the file gallery, to make visible it to his Anonymous visitor. He need to enable "Can download files (tiki_p_download_files)".

Re-wording the name of the permission to "Can download or view files content (tiki_p_download_files)" look still too technical in my point of view.
... Adding a clone of this permission (same of the same) with a different label "Can view media (images, video, Audio, diagram, etc.) (tiki_p_download_files)"

Someone clever should suggest the good way to do it. 😉
