[justinliyh]

hi, have you resolved this problem? I have same problem too.

[muralidharand]

Can you please look at the github project link ?

GitHub - muralidharand/alfresco-disable-enable-download-action 

[douglascrp]

Interesting project, but it seems it does not remove the options to download from the preview component, neither from the search result.

I did my research about alfresco and made a simple documentation. Have a look at the code below:

Find the section for disabling downloads.

Hi Muralidharan Deenathayalan

Thanx for your help, but i am new in alfresco, how i can do this?

Thanx.

[jpotts · Accepted solution]

Here is what you need to disable both download buttons for everyone:

If you want to disable it just for a Consumer you can use an evaluator to check group membership.

[luis67]

To disable download for consumers, implement user permissions in the app or platform settings. Restrict access to download features for consumer accounts through user roles or access controls in the admin panel. GB Whatsapp Download
