Hello … Doing some tests with the permissions in Alfresco I found one thing I put certain users with read permissions in a space yet these documents can be saved locally exitentes in that space, there is some form of restriction or limit users to that can not be saved locally, leaving only those files that can read the files … Thank you for your kind attention and answers … Soon mount some contributions that would serve …

If I understand you correctly, you want the users to be able to read the documents, but not to save them locally?

Usually, this use case is pretty difficult in a web environment, as the web browser has to download the information in order to display it in the first place.

You might want to consider developing a java applet or Adobe Flash component that prevents casual "right-click" saving (take a look at the web-based song lyric websites). Alternatively, render the protected documents to an image which will at least prevent simple copy/paste operations on the text. Finally, I understand there's a specific PDF format which allows this use case, but I'm unfamiliar with the exact config required.

Thanks,
Mike
