newbie to workflow

[rama_honge]

My requirement is like this:

A user has only read access(has permissions to read the properties/view the summary of the document).
Inorder to open the document, the user has to send a mail to a group(approver) who will decide whether to provide the access or not. If the approver grants the permission, then a mail has to sent to the user regarding the authorization and then he would be able to open the document.

Any inputs on how to proceed on this, would be really helpful..

Thanks in advance

The first one would be to just allowthe user "read space" right to the publication space. On "access granted", an action adds the user to the "consumer role" list for that specific content.

The other thing would be to publish a cm:content with empty content section and a "basable" aspect.
On workflow "access granted", call a custom action to
* follow basable aspect
* convert target doc into PDF move PDF into XXX
* add user to "consumer role" list.

Both could be done via javascript or java foundation API.
