Document Controls and Rights Management
Role based permissions
Secure Shared Files applies rights management to files sent with Shared Links. Two roles (Reader and Editor) are configured by the admin to include the following permissions:
View protected files – All authorized recipients are granted this permission by default
Edit protected files – Allow or deny modifying and saving the file content
Print protected files – Allow or deny permission to print a document
Copy content – Allow or deny permission to copy content from the file
Watermark – If checked, all protected files have a watermark, which is visible when printed. For PDF documents only, the watermark is also visible when viewed on a monitor. Note: Watermark is not supported for Web Preview
Screen capture defeat – When a user views a protected document, the Syncplicity desktop plug-in disables the use of operating system screen capturing tools and some common 3rd party screen capture tools. When this box is checked, the user has the ability to temporarily turn off this feature and allow screen capture
Offline access – When checked, the user has the ability to access protected content when they cannot connect to the Server (for example, when they are traveling or out of the office). The Syncplicity administrator determines the amount of days the user can access the document while offline.
Geo-location restrictions
Syncplicity administrators can define the following settings on a company-wide basis:
Set location based restriction for protected files
Deny access from specified countries – If this policy is selected, the shared link downloads page cannot be accessed from any of the specified countries. The recipient cannot access the document while they are in any of the specified countries.
Allow access from specifed countries – If this policy is selected, the shared link download page can only be accessed from the specified countries. The recipient can access the document only while they are in the specified countries.
