# Allowing certain attachments for some users but not others

#### Summary

You can allow downloading of certain types of attachments based on group membership.

#### More Information

You can specify which attachments are allowed by group. To do this, go to **Global Settings > WebMail Global Preferences** and click the bottom check box "Allow Downloading of Executable Attachments". Then go to Manage Groups > File Extension Blocking. From there you can specify which groups are allowed which file types. If you want to have a different setting for a specific user, you will have to put that user into their own group by going to **Manage Users> Create a new group** then specify which attachments they can download.
