Restrict Download Access at Component Level While Allowing View Access in EWM

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to restrict download access for source code or files at the component level, while still allowing users to view or open the files.

Scenario:

Project Name: Training Project
Stream: Development Stream
Component: Development Component
Folder: Source Code folder (used to maintain source code files and build files)

Access Configuration:

I created an access group called Development Access Group.
Added User A (from DEP A) and User B (from DEP B).
Granted this group access to the Development Stream.

Requirement:

1. User A uploads files (for example, initial and final project builds) into the Source Code folder.

2. User A does not want User B to download these files.

3. User B should still:

   • Have access to the component

   • Be able to open and view the source code

   • But should NOT be able to download the files

Current Behavior:

Even if User A locks the files, User B is still able to download them.
Since User B has stream and component access, download is still allowed.

I have already checked all permissions in Process Configuration under Roles, but I do not see any permission that allows restricting download separately from read access.

Question:

Is it possible in EWM to restrict download permission while still allowing read or view access at component level or folder level?

If yes, what is the recommended configuration using:

• Access Groups

• Role based permissions

• Component level permissions

• Process Configuration

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.
