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.

    ​@MarcosMarcote - Thank you so much for sharing your use case!

    If you haven't already, I'd also encourage you to submit this as an idea in the Community so our Product team can review it alongside feedback from other customers.

    Thank you!

    ​@brett.mcgaffigan Hi Brett,

    This solution is currently available in the Partners area:
    [INTERNAL] Manage the rights to download original assets – Bynder Support
     

    We’ve implemented it, but it doesn’t fully meet our needs. That’s because it restricts the original URL even though it allows users to view the original file. And in the case of PPT files or JPG small assets, it results in the derived file being a different file type or not having one at all.

    I’ll put together a wish list of features it would be nice to have in Bynder, since I’ve also found areas for improvement in other modules.
     

    Thanks

    ​@MarcosMarcote if you have not done so already and need additional help configuring this to make it meet your needs I suggest creating a support ticket and the team can try to help. 

    While you are putting together a wish list of features I suggest taking a look at this article Product Feedback and Improvements if provides a suggested “formula” on how to provide feedback to our product team to ensure that we fully understand the request. Thank you!
