Question

We need to manage download restrictions by file type

Hi Bynder,

We need to restrict the download of PSD file types by group, BUT allow that same group to download their derivatives. Currently, DAM Bynder offers the option to restrict the “Download of original files,” but this applies to all assets, not just specific ones. The problem with restricting access for everyone is that those same groups would not be able to download the original PDF format, for example, which does not have a derivative version. 

We need a custom development in Fluidra DAM Bynder that restricts only the download of the original version of a specific file type—for example, PSD-format assets—while allowing the download of their derivatives.

The current workflow is to convert and duplicate the original assets into derivatives at the time of upload or sharing, but this creates duplicates, requires manual workflows, and causes issues with restrictions and visibility.
