OwnCloud For Public - Admins - Uploads, Students - Downloads?

Hi everyone,

So I have installed OwnCloud on my hosting provider (share Linux server) and the newest version looks great! Actually I am missing some functionality in settings, so I want to discuss it here.

What I want to do is to create a on-to-all file sharing for my students. In other words: admin should be allowed to upload files, and the public (with no login required OR all would use the same account) would be able only to view/download files (they shouldn't be able to delete or edit files).

How can this be achieved? P.S., I have some very basic html/php knowledge but I am not a programmer and I need to achieve this at any means.

I had a short search at the documentation available at https://doc.owncloud.org and found the following link below. Maybe thats the functionality you're looking for?
