OBJE:RESN

[mariannevanharten]

I want to add an image into my tree which is only visible for managers, so I tried
0 @m1@ OBJE
1 FILE image.jpeg
2 FORM image/jpeg
2 RESN CONFIDENTIAL

This snippet is invalid. How can I set the right restriction?

Best regards,
Marianne

GEDCOM only supports RESN tags at level 1 - i.e. applies to level 0 records.

Using them at level 2 (to apply to a level 1 record) is an extension by your software (presumably webtrees).

So this will be invalid, even though it works.

Be aware that transferring the data to any other application will generally cause this level 2 restriction to be lost/ignored.

Although you cannot mark a single file as restricted, you can mark the entire OBJE as restricted:

0 @m1@ OBJE
1 FILE image.jpeg
2 FORM image/jpeg
1 RESN CONFIDENTIAL

If you want to mark only some FILEs of an OBJE as restricted, you could split them into separate OBJE records.
