how to prevent document from download ?

[xeonyk]

What should be modified to prevent documents from downloaded by unauthorized users but allow finding those documents when using search engine?

thx

your logic 😉

I am sure, it it possible, haking the search logic or building your own role, but one question : Why would you want somebody to find a document but not allow to view it ? Because viewing and downloading is the same thing - except if you use a special viewer as proxy.

The meat is, though, in all other settings, I would consider it a massive breach of security, indexing and making available a document I have no rights to see. Because via the search queries, I can still find out, if - for instance - my name is in the list "peopleToWatch.xls".
