topic No download custom role in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/no-download-custom-role/m-p/295847#M248977 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>We're using Alfresco Community 4.2.c and are in need of restricting some user from downloading document.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>From what I learn in this forum and other sources, we can remove/hide download button and document action from specific roles. We have successfully hidden download button and document actions and show them only to specific user with CanDownload permission. We created new role "Viewer" with no download access and added CanDownload permission to default permission Collaborator, Contributor, Editor, and Consumer. The first three work as expected but the last one, Consumer, doesn't. In Consumer the download button is still hidden though it has CanDownload permission.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;!–break–&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Here are what we add to permissionDefinitions.xml</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&lt;permissions&gt;<BR />…<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;
