One of my customers is having a requirement of not allowing the users from downloading any documents from SharePoint document libraries, ie they should be able to just view but not download (PDFs) - Is this possible? Even if you have IRM integrated, I know this is not possible skarthick

Hi, using IRM, The first time that you attempt to open a document, workbook, or presentation with restricted permission, you must connect to a licensing server to verify your credentials and to download a use license. The use license defines the level of access that you have to a file. This process is required for each file with restricted permission. In other words, content with restricted permission cannot be opened without a use license. Downloading permissions requires that Microsoft Office send your credentials (which includes your e-mail address) and information about your permission rights to the licensing server. Information contained in the document is not sent to the licensing server http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101029181033.aspx#2a http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101541481033.aspx Best Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
