Disable the Finder module (according to the user ?) and change the way the Assets module works

1 / Is it possible to deactivate the Finder module and only use the Assets module? In the majority of cases, it is not necessary to have access to all Cockpit folders / files directly from Cockpit. Moreover, if an average user uses the Finder module, instead of the Assets module, and deletes an important file / folder for the functioning of Cockpit the application will be down.

You can define user-group permissions in your config.php. To disable the ‘finder’ module for a group use

{
  groups: {
    noFinderUsers: { // your groups name
      cockpit: {
        finder: false
      }
    }
  }
}

2 / Is it possible to change the way the folders / files are stored? Currently, when a file is imported into Cockpit via the Assets module, it is stored in this way on the server:

Currently not. This is hardcoded in the assets module
