WordPress Membership Plugin

HELP! I need to setup a very simple FREE login for a number of Members that will direct each individual to a WP page or *.pdf file specific to them. Example John with login credentials specific to him that takes him to a specific webpage or file. Bob with login credentials specific to him that takes him to a different specific webpage or file etc. Going to have about 125 Members. Desperately need specific instructions on how to create this. Sincere thanks to any and all who might offer assistance.

SWPM only protects WordPress pages; not actual files. You can of course, place a link to the desired file, onto a WordPress page that is protected by SWPM.
A media item or file in WordPress consists of two parts:
1) The attachment page: This is automatically created by WordPress when you upload a media file through the media uploader.
2) The static file itself: For example, yourdomain.com/testfile.jpg. This can be accessed directly via its URL, which does not go through the WordPress system. The attachment page links to this static file.
These two elements are distinct; the second one, the static file, is not managed by our plugin. Storage methods for static files vary; for instance, some users might choose to store their files on Amazon S3. Currently, there is no universal method that our plugin uses to handle these files. We typically recommend a download manager plugin for managing and protecting static files. Such plugins offer features to hide and secure files, allowing them to be configured as downloadable items and embedded in protected posts or pages, accessible only to members.
For this purpose, you might find the following plugin useful:
