SOLIDWORKS PDM 2017 Web2 Download Permissions

Article by Joe Medeiros, CSWE updated October 25, 2016

Article

SOLIDWORKS PDM 2017 Web2 now lets an administrator control download permissions. This is done by modifying the configuration node of the Web.config file.  The Web.config file is located by default, in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SOLIDWORKSPDM\Web2. The following string denies the user download permissions, <user denyDownload=true name=No_Soup_For_You“></user>

The Admin has download permissions enabled by default.  <user denyDownload=”false name=”admin“></user>

These strings are entered under, <vaultSettings>, which is found near the end of the Web.config file.

Dynamic Previews are now supported on Google® Chrome™, Mozilla® Firefox®, and Apple® Safari®, without the need to load any plug-ins.
