Protecting Excel workbook with updating password

Copper Contributor

Hi all

 

I have the following situation: 
  *   Excel workbook that have Power query sourced from SQL / Web
  *   User has edit permissions
  *   From time to time I need the capability to prevent the user from opening the excel
  *   Excel file is encrypted

 

I want to implement a mechanism that will allow me to set and change the password dynamically.
My implementation thoughts (sorted per my preference 1st is best approach)

  *   Excel offline with admin features
  *   Excel Online using permission (need to verify if I am able to prevent download and enable edit)
  *   3rd Party that support such requirements
  *   Add another layer to the Excel Open password where the 'Code' would hold the Actual password and the user authentication would be confronting a server 

 

Any thoughts
