How to issue file permission on AWS

97 Views Asked by At

Perhaps I'm on the wrong approach, however here is what I'm trying to do on AWS: I have a collection of OpenDocument files (calc, base) and I need to share those to other people; each user should access an instance of the file, meaning he/she can use its functionalities but not modify and more importanty he/she cannot download the file.

I tried setting up permission using the AWS policy generator, but once the file is accessible it can be modified and/or downloaded.

Is there a more simple solution for this?

If you deal with files, users will be able to download or access. So, You should be looking at a VM/VDI solution to enable them to only 'Use' but not download or copy.

eg: AWS has App Streaming which I think serves your use case.

I think you are referring to: New Collaborative Editing for Amazon WorkDocs – Powered by Hancom Thinkfree Office Online | AWS News Blog

There does appear to be a permission in Amazon WorkDocs that can prevent downloading of files. See: Permissions - Amazon WorkDocs

You can also limit users to have View only permissions.

Amazon WorkDocs costs $5 per user per month.
