    Sorry if this has been answered before. I'm sure it has, but I didn't find anything doing a quick search. Want to know if the following is possible

    Product 1 gives you access to folders A,B and C.

    Product 2 gives you access to folders A,B, C, D and E.

    Is it possible to have two products/subscriptions that give you access to the same folders?

    Sorry again if this is well-covered territory.

    I guess I'm not quite understanding how to do this (I have only had one product per folder previous to this). Can you explain (or point me to a place that does)?

    Do I simply use the admin tool to protect the folder twice with the two products so subscribers to either product can access? (I'm using new-rewrite, btw). Do I need to edit the .htacess file or anything manually?

    Sorry for being dense, but I'm not quite sure what the proper procedure is for this, and don't want to mess things up!

    THANK YOU!!!!

    The protect folder tool will rewrite the protection file for you.

    You don't need to protect folder twice. Just edit protection for that folder and select both products for it (hold ctrl key and click on both products )

    Thanks, Alex! I didn't realize it was so simple! Should have tried it myself but was nervous about screwing something up. Amember is great!!!!
