Allow a document to be viewed in the browser but not downloaded to the local machine

I have SharePoint 2013 deployed and RMS integration enabled. and am willing to install Office Web Apps. I want to enable users to view documents in the browser only but not be able to download them to their desktops. This would mean there is no "save
as" button in the browser-based viewer and no ability to download the documents to the desktop to be used with the desktop Office apps (word, Excel, etc.).
I understand that I need RMS and Office Web Apps to do this. Could someone please confirm if I'm able to accomplish the goal above and, if so, how I do it?
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

When you enable OWA. you can read the file online and edit it
The only way to allow users to read but not edit or print a file would be to implement Windows Rights Management.  You can read about that here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms458245.aspx
It won't be doable with SharePoint permissions only as, even with read only, the documents is still downloaded to the client cache to read and as such can still be retrieved from there.
You need to follow below steps for IRM

  • How do I make Firefox the browser but not make it the default browser?

    I want to use Firefox as the browser on some sites but not all. I don't want to make either Firefox or Internet Explorer as a default browser but use each on certaion web sites such as Google or MSN.

    For your choice of default browser, think about the one you want to handle links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external email program. Windows will use your default browser to open those links.
    Then when you want to visit a site in a preferred browser, open that browser and use its bookmarks or favorites to get there.

  • How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

    How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

    You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
    What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
    Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

    Hello BwarsIG88
    Check your purchase history by going to the iTunes Store and then click on purchases. From there you can see all your purchase history and download what you are missing.

  • Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

    Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
    I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
    Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
    The more automated processes the better.
    Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

    yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
    Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

    Hi all,
    Would you know whether there is an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync outlook appointmens down to the device but not up to the computer calendar. The same occurs with my iPhone 4, can sync appointments down to the device, but not back up to the computer. Any help appreciated!

    Most computer's USB ports do not have enough power to charge iPads while they are active.  An iPad will charge while in sleep mode, but very slowly.

  • Iphoto will not download photos to the program but will download to the computer.  I would like to edit the photos but cannot.

    Hi,
    My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though. I cannot edit the photos because they are not in the program. Can someone tell me what is wrong.  Thanks!

    No - I have no idea what yours concern even is
    iPhoto does not "download" to any place - it does import and the only place it imports to is the iPhoto library so this statement makes no sense at all
    My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though.
    And it is really helpful to know what version of iPhoto you have and what version of the OS you have
    One possible off the wall guess with no information is that your have your events sorted incorrectly (fix by the view menu ==> sort events) or that your camera dates are incorrect

  • I bought an album and some of the songs did not download for the full length, but others did. why? and how do i fix it?

    i bought an album from the itunes store and some of the songs did not download the whole length... why? and how do i fix this?

    Delete the incomplete tracks from your library, sending them to recycle bin, then download them again from your purchased history. If the problem persists use the "report a problem" links from your account history to contact the iTunes store support staff.
    Are the incomplete tracks ones that you had previewed before purchasing the album? If so there may be a bug that needs reporting. See this recent post which explains why I ask the question...

    I had this problem as well but found the soultion on another post from turingtest2 - it worked for me:
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

  • Data is in the repository, but not showing on the EPM workspace

    Hi All,
    Recently we have migrated from Hyperion8.5 to Hyperion11.1.1. Migration went on well no errors, after migration I see some folders missing and when I queried on the repositories all the folder data and reports are there in the repository but not showing up in the EPM workspace. It is weird. Did any one encountered this type of error. Is there any work around to this.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Check BI+ security in shared services. Set someone to BI+ Administrator and have them look in Workspace for the reports. In Workspace, check the Permissions of each folder.

But the news item is not shown on the iView, though I can edit it (I only see the functions 'edit', 'sent to', etc. Can you please tell what I am missing to do properly? I am using JRE 1.4.
    thanks a lot

    Hi Marcos,
    is it possible that you only have created the edit form, not the corresponding Show/RenderListItem/ListShow form for showing up the content?!
    Hope it helps
