Block the download action for users with Consumer role

itsquare — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 17:11:48 GMT

Hello,

I am using Alfresco Community v6.2.0 and I need to block the download action for users with Consumer role, in the document list page and in the document detail page. Anyone has any hint about how can I configure Alfresco to perform that?

Thanks for the support.

Hello,

You have to add custom permissions in Alfresco.

You can make use of action evaluators to hide the download action for users who are having consumer role. Download button which you see in details page on top-right corner needs to be disabled by extending "node-header.get.js". You don't specifically need a custom permission implementation to fix this use case, Just make use of action evaluators.

Does this configuration also work in version 6? I was unable to replicate the configuration.
