Prevent download and print option for all files in a folder in SharePoint document library.
In the document library, I have different folders and every folder contains excel, word and pdf files. I want to restrict the download and print option when I'm sharing a folder with an external user...
iDevd you have to "play" with custom SharePoint permission to achieve that.
High-level solution:
- create a custom permission level in your SharePoint site
- create a SharePoint group ad assign the custom permission level
- Add the external users in the SharePoint group which have limited action
As starting point for creating your custom level permission, you may refer to the following article: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/restricted-view-andor-preventing-download-of/7e7a987e-0fb3-4712-b025-fb3a91bc2354
