Hi All,

Can you inform me?

Hi,

Can you elaborate, describe what you want to know in more detail? It's not clear what you are asking about.

Thanks!

Hi @Mathias Dahl ,

I want the user who only has permission to view the document to not be able to copy it. Also, what does the SAFETY_COPY_REQ field in the image mean by N Y?

If a user has View access, you cannot stop them from making a copy of the document. It's pointless trying to do that. If they can view it, they can also find a way to save a copy or, at the very least, take a screenshot.

If you are very concerned about them getting hold of the original file, you can create another revision where you only keep a PDF version of it (or even an image) and only grant access to that revision. Do not then grant access to the revision that keeps the original.

SAFETY_COPY_REQ is for informational purposes only. That means, you can use it however you want to. It is probably a leftover from what come before the Docman of today.
