Prevent some users to download files

[ltardioli]

Hello ppl,

I need to hide the download button from Share to all consumer users.
I was trying something like that:

<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="False">Consumer</permission>
      </permissions>
   </action>
     </actions>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it didnt work…

Has anyone knows what permission I should use?

Thanks!

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
