That is a good idea. Thanks, Jeff.

8.03.409C

Has anybody ever applied vantage level security to opening attachments? I am trying to do some security group checking, but when I double-click an attachment I can't get any adapter to return a method, etc. to hook in to.

Ideally, what I would like to do is check if the vantage user is in a security group before allowing them to open the attachment.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Ross
I don't think it uses a BO to do that. You may be able to wire up a handler
for one of the grid events. It would probably be cumbersome though and it
would need to be repeated for every form.

Maybe you could set directory permissions on the share where you're storing
the docs?

Thanks, John.

I did write up a script that will change file/directory permissions on the fly but I am trying to avoid that so they don't get stepped on in the future.

The solution will add documents from a dropdown box, as well as let people add attachments through the native method, and it auto-copies to a common location, creates project id subfolders, etc. Some of the files need different security and I was hoping to do it 'behind the scenes' without pushing the attachment variations to the user.

Thanks again,
Ross

Companies I've worked with have generally found the direction John suggested
to work well.



Instead of trying to drive the security from the retrieval side, we set it
up on the initial storage side. When the file that will become an
attachment is created, it is stored in a directory location with permissions
appropriate for that type of attachment. It leverages the network
permissions they already have to maintain and means they didn't have to
build something in Vantage.



It does require planning it out in advance, so figuring out a standard set
of subfolders for each project could reduce the administration time. In
your situation, each time a new project is created, the standard subfolders
(and permissions) would be set up, ready for attachments to be dropped in.
When users go to open an attachment, the permissions are already in place.
It helps greatly if your network security groups mirror your Vantage
security groups.



Regards,



Jeff

Thanks, John.

I did write up a script that will change file/directory permissions on the
fly but I am trying to avoid that so they don't get stepped on in the
future.

The solution will add documents from a dropdown box, as well as let people
add attachments through the native method, and it auto-copies to a common
location, creates project id subfolders, etc. Some of the files need
different security and I was hoping to do it 'behind the scenes' without
pushing the attachment variations to the user.

Thanks again,
Ross
