# For Editors {#editor}

This extension comes with a backend module showing the access log to secured files. The module has to be enabled by setting the
[log](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/leuchtfeuer/secure-downloads:admin-extensionconfiguration-log@14.1) to `true`.

## Backend Module {#editor-backendmodule}

With the backend module you can show the summarized download traffic by a given time frame for all users or by a specific
frontend user. You can get an overview of all downloaded files or of downloaded files per page only.

The module must be enabled in the extension configuration.

## Identify protected files {#editor-identifyprotectedfiles}

You can easily identify protected files in the file list, because all protected files and directories are marked with a dedicated
icon:
