We have two different work flows, one for standard parts that are highly controlled and one for custom parts that are usually only used once for a job then not changed again but reused of future projects. The problem we are having is that we do not want the people who are working on custom parts to have access to any standard parts that are currently in work in progress (WIP). Sometimes parts that are WIP are actually in some larger assemblies and if a user does a "get" of that larger assembly and its children, they will get the WIP version of those parts. I can deny downloading for them on WIP parts but the problem with that is that vault does not know to go back the most recent version that that user does have permission to download. What vault does is looks in the user's working folder and deletes that file (if it exists in their working folder) and tries to download the most recent version but the permissions denies the download, so then there is a missing part from the upper level assembly. There also is not a way to download a previous version manually because the most recent revision is work in progress. I could also prevent them from seeing WIP parts but Vault hides all revisions not just the work in progress revision.
There needs to be a way for users to be able to download the most recent "released" version of files, not just the most recent.
