Controlling the Download Permissions for Users and Groups

In the Web2 client, Administrators can control download permissions for users and groups by adding and configuring the following settings into the <configuration> node of the Web.config file:

<vaultSettings>
<vault name="EPDM" defaultDelimiter="|" denyDownloadGroups="Group1">
<user name="admin" denyDownload="false"/></vault>
<user name="User1" denyDownload="true"/></vault>
</vaultSettings>
Vault setting Description
name
Name of the vault. Create a separate <vaultSettings> section for each vault that needs download permissions controlled.
defaultDelimiter
Delimiter used to separate group names in the denyDownloadGroups setting. The default delimiter is |.
denyDownloadGroups
Groups that have download permissions denied in the specified vault. You must separate group names by the delimiter specified in the defaultDelimiter setting.
User setting Description

denyDownload
