[piyush48]

Hii All,

I want to disable viewing of metadata that is properties of a document for custom customer role. I have removed ReadProperties but Now i cant see the file in my Repository though i have given permission to user with custom customer role.

Thanks,,

Alfresco's security model does not support restricting access that way. Since the name of a document is a property, as soon as you remove ReadProperties, the affected users can no longer see that document because even listing it with its name would require ReadProperties.

Like alex mentioned, you cannot remove read permissions from what i have read in the tutorials. I am a beginner so can't help much, but this is what i may try.

- keep the permissions as is

- find out the details view template and extend it to add permission checks before it loads all the properties in the view. Hide for not allowed user

- Disable edit properties in document browse and document details action group

- modify search result page to disable action based on permission which take user to view details page.

Could please tell me the template where i should look to change this thing and any example like how to apply permission with that template. I hope you would provide me with path and location for the Template and how to use permission with it.

Thanks,
