Private file — only owner can create link

A signed-in non-owner tried to mint a download grant for a private file.

Private file — only owner can create link

Someone signed in (but not as the owner) tried to Create download link on a private file (isPublic=false). Only the owner may mint grants.

Why this happens

Private files are not for public sharing. Guests see Private file — sign in as owner instead. Consuming an already-minted private link without the owner session uses the “same browser” message.

Diagnose and fix

1. Owner: sign in as yourself and mint the link, or set the file Public.

2. Other members: ask the owner for a public link or access.

3. Admin: check Private files / public override tools if staff need to intervene.

4. Distinct from Premium-only (flag) and password-protected files.
