RAM Policy or server side job to automatically subscribe users
I am looking for a way within within Rational Asset Manager to automatically subscribe users who have downloaded an asset . The reason is if they download the asset and the asset changes, we are looking for a way to notify the consumers of changes without having to use the "send email" button on the statistics page.
Scenario 1:
Some server job that runs in the background:
For all Asset types = Implementation with attribute_name = "specific attribute value", add this asset to the subscription list of all users who have downloaded this asset.
Scenario 2: Some sort of extension to the download asset capability. : When the user downloads the asset, automatically add this asset to their subscription list.
Thoughts?

Accepted answer
The term "downloaded" is somewhat gray. Any access to a single artifact (e.g., an image) or a full download of the asset, is considered a download.
Adding a user as a subs. without their knowledge is a bit of a spam
You can today send an email to folks that downloaded that asset (from the web UI)
Would adding a configuration (to the send mail policy) to send an email to users that downloaded an asset satisfy these needs?
