Setting ReadOnly content property

nikes

Hi folks,

I want functionality where user can only read document and no downlod link should appear.

How can I implement this in Alfreso permissionDefinitions.xml file ?

I tried to define role with ReadProperties bt it is giving me exceptions on console.

Also can I disable save button on MS Word by applying Alfresco Office Ad-ins?

Is it possible in current version of Alfresco?

Thanks,
Nikesh

You don't say which client you're using - the Explorer client (/alfresco) or Share (/share). With Share it would be possible to disable the download link in the UI, but wouldn't stop someone from downloading the content if they knew the URL. The problem is a browser needs to download the content in order to display it. However, when the content is downloaded as a Flash movie it makes this process harder (although still not impossible).

The Office add-in doesn't disable any part of the standard Word toolbar - that's not it's purpose. You could extend it to do that, but there are other way Microsoft have provided, such as saving documents with a password so they can be read but not written.

Thanks Mike,

That means, in current version there is no way to make document ReadOnly if client accesses it from (/alfresco) or CIFS?

In MS SharePoint serever there is a plug in for the same (I am not sure, but it is built-in feature).

You can certainly add Read Only permissions, so they can't alter the document in the Alfresco Repository. But it's very difficult to prevent someone accessing the actual content of a document as the application needs to do so in order to be able to read it.

Even in Microsoft Word's "read only" mode, you can Select All / Copy / Paste into a new document.

Is there any way to integrate Windows Rights Management Service (RMS)?

I think as it is windows product, it integrates well with SharePoint server.

Using RMS we can restrict copying, Saving doc etc…. on client machine…

I would like to know is there any support in ALfresco for the same?

As Alfresco works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc. there would possibly be little benefit for us to add a Microsoft-specific service. Doesn't mean it's not possible, just not something we would necessarily prioritise unless paid to do so.
