Hello all,

My client has a customer portal where their clients can view various documents (e.g., purchase orders). Would it be possible for them to click on a link to access these documents directly in IFS, without needing to log in? To clarify, is there a way to provide "public" visibility to certain documents—accessible via a link—without requiring the user to have an IFS account?

Or Would it be possible to easily provide access to the IFS Document Management System (DMS) from external applications?

Thanks for your answer ! Wishing you a great day !

Hi ​@ksebf ,

 

Unfortunately, both requests are not possible as of today and as I checked, no plans to include this in the future developments as well. Your client needs to work/built something else for this requirement.  

 

Mentioning the business requirement, you can create an Idea in IFS Community and Product Development team will consider this in future developments.

 

Best regards,

Supun Ekanayake.

As ​@sueklk said, 

this isn't possible and it's a quite hard problem to solve, to allow "non-users" to access documents or other data in an application that's very much centered around controlling access to data. I think I heard some years back about us thinking of some feature that allows someone to access the system for a short time, or one time, by using some short-lived tokens in the URL. I haven't heard anything about that since then.

To do what you want you could develop some server that acts as a proxy, which would allow this, and which would fetch a copy in the background, providing "public access".
