Security/access settings for user profiles in Web Client

Security/access settings for user profiles in Web Client

Feature request:

Desire to have the ability to set file access by user profile.

Particularly file download in web client - would like to be able to switch this off as an option for some users to reduce risk of accidental leak of IP from native files being downloaded.

If these specific users are not able to download the files, what kind of data would they be accessing in the Thin Client?

We would like users to be able to view dwfs but not download native part or assembly files to protect IP in native models.

I have another IdeaStation request for this exact request.

 

We would also like the ability to control who can download the AutoCAD drawing.  If they don't have this access, then the DWFx file would be available only.

I have also had clients ask for the ability to limit access through the web client to only DWFs.  If the DWF is missing, they should go back to Engineering for a copy, rather than having direct download access to the native file.  The clients have also voiced a concern for their IP.  Users can acquire the native files and then take those designs to a competitor.

Regards,
