Your configuration looks OK. Try to clear cache or may be restart server.

But this permission will hide Download button for All rather than only Consumers. Try this permission


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
    <actions>
   <action id="document-download" type="link" label="actions.document.download">
      <param name="href">{downloadUrl}</param>
      <permissions>
         <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
      </permissions>
   </action>
     </actions>
</config>

Hi niketapatel, this configuration works here! But when I open the document in view mode there is a download button too.
Do you know how to disable this button too? I couldnt figure how.

Thanks!

For that, you need to set this action permission


    <action id="document-view-content" type="link" label="actions.document.view">
            <param name="href">{viewUrl}</param>
             <permissions>
               <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
            </permissions>
         </action>

Hi Niketapatel! Thanks for your help!!
This code will hide the view button and I kind need that too!
But when I open a document by clicking in it, I mean the document detail's page there is an other download button on the top of the page; Do you know a way to hide this button too?

Thanks!

Hi, I believe this wont be done by configuration. You will have to modify/extend below webscript.

Noob here.. So we need to edit 3 things?

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
    <actions>
   <action id="document-download" type="link" label="actions.document.download">
      <param name="href">{downloadUrl}</param>
      <permissions>
         <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
      </permissions>
   </action>
     </actions>
</config>

    <action id="document-view-content" type="link" label="actions.document.view">
            <param name="href">{viewUrl}</param>
             <permissions>
               <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
            </permissions>
         </action>

URL: /components/node-details/node-header

Where exactly are those files that we need to add those in located?

The first 2 xml sections should be included in the share-custom-config.xml file.

The last one will require an extension module to be created. For this, read the following thread
