But they cant be accessed by anyone, even admin, because there should be also a FILE entyty?</p> <p>I have tried all possible ways to create a File entity with ECA, but always its a "access denied"<br> <strong>Access denied to create file (Activity_157tghw) from ECA Export user data (process_bscgf0f) for event eca.form.submit:</strong></p> <p>So I have tried to create a file "entity: create new" and selected File:file.<br> Then after that tried to apply all necessary fields like status, uri, etc.<br> But nothing works. Server folder permissions are maxed out 777 and www-data. The user is admin<br> who tries to create the file, it is changed at the beginning of the ECA model. </p> <p>Tried to save a file also to public folder but same problem. </p> <p>Is there a tutorial how to create File entities with ECA and views data export? </p> <p>I am able to create normal content entities but it looks like Files are different.<br> Files may need something more, its not maybe enough the file uri, status etc but more.<br> What could it be? </p> <h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3> <h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3> <h3 id="summary-data-model-changes">Data model changes</h3>
