Im in a situation where I have 2 users that I do not want to them to
see each others files waiting to be tagged and stored. I currently
have a an inbox tag that is applied to all new documents that are
given to the consume directory.  Anyway of doing this via  the new
Consumption Template? Any example you can provide?

​

Thank you for your input.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Here is what I came
up with and it is working.

add environment variable

PAPERLESS\_CONSUMER\_RECURSIVE: "true"

Docker volumes

\- /mnt/smb/paperless/consume:/usr/src/paperless/consume
\- /mnt/smb/paperless/consume/user2:/usr/src/paperless/consume/user2

Create 2 inbox tags

inbox and inbox user2 and **do not select the option for an inbox
tag**

Create  2 consumption templates


**first consumption template**

name it "consume"

filter sources set to Consume Folder

Filter Path  enter \*consume/\*

Assign tag select inbox

save

**second consumption template**


name it "consume user2"


Filter Sources set to Consume Folder


Filter Path enter \*user2/\*


Assign tag select inbox user2


save

​

Hope this helps.
