Document library: user can see the metadata but not the file itself

Hello,
For a specific document library certain users will have the right to see the metadata but not the file itself. The only solution I can  think of is using a http handler. But I don't know if I can get the user that requests the document.
Are there any other approaches to this requirement?
Can I get the username of the user that makes that request?
I guess that http handler is deployed at the Web application level - am I right?
Thank you
Christos

Nicolas, thank you for your answer.
I think this this is not a strong protection. Everybody can istall sp designer or go through UNC path, like \\myserver\documentlibray or \\myserver\lists\mylist and see the documents- and we use unc paths a lot. I don't want to get into trouble when a (wiki)
leak is made.

  • Valid users can see a site, but not the document libraries they have permissions for

    Hello everybody,
    at a customer's site, there is SharePoint Foundation 2013 SP1 running, bound to both http and https. Seeminlgy out of nothing, a strange behavior occurred: Visting
    http://intranet/subsite showed the page headers (logo, global navigation etc.), but no content. The welcome text was missing as well as the links to the document libraries which should appear in the left navigation.
    After explicitely adding http://intranet as an alternate name (https://intranet was active only, don't know why), we can again reach content via http. Still strange appears, that
    http://intranet global navigation links get redirected to https (fine, but unexpected). If we change a deep link to a document library from https to http in the browser's address bar, we can reach the content fine.
    However, one problem still exists: This site gets published via TMG 2010 via https, and that also worked just fine for many months. But now, I can try what I want in TMG, valid authenticated users see only the top navigation, but no content at all.
    Can anyone give me a hint about what to check? Of course, I will provide any info you may need.
    Best Regards, Stefan Falk

    Hello Daniel,
    Thank you for your response. As to your questions:
    I just added http://intranet to the alternate access mappings of the intranet zone and did not extend a website.
    Besides SharePoint Central Administration, there is no other SharePoint web site collection on this server, and no other non-SharePoint-IIS-Site. This is a VM for nothing else than hosting this single intranet site collection.
    We do see the same issue under two sub-websites underneath
    http://intranet, namely http://intranet/Datenaustausch and
    http://intranet/Protokolle. In both sub-sites, there is some welcome text on the home page and there are several document libraries, each with permissions not interited, but explicitely granted to specific users.
    The first (solved) issue was, that we could not see the document libraries when using http, but could see them using https. This was solved by adding the alternate access mapping for
    http://intranet explicitely.
    We can successfully browse the sites (using http and https now) from the internal network. The one issue left is that the same does not work through TMG, that is, coming from the external network, we can see and call up the sites in a browser, but not any
    content in them. We do see the site title and logo, and the global navigation at the top of the page, but we do not see the welcome text, nor the document libraries. This did work last week, and we do not know nor could find, why it stopped working. The issue
    persists regardless of whether we use bridging to https or to http between TMG and SharePoint.
    We have already restarted the SharePoint box, with no success.
    If I can provide any further information needed, I will be glad to do so.
    Best Regards, Stefan Falk

  • Unauthorized User can see the aggregated result?

    Dear all,
    I got a problem that, unauthorized user can see the aggregated result.
    e.g. A user who is allowed to read data of Sales Office (0SALES_OFF) 0001 only. (It is done in the RSECADMIN already)
    Now a cube contains Sales records of Sales office 0001 & 0002 :
    Sales Office 0001  Sales Value 3000
    Sales Office 0002  Sales Value 2000
    When the user execute a query from the cube without any selection criteria, it give the aggregated Sales Value 5000.
    But if the user try to drill down for each sales office, it can then give error, because the user are not suppose to see Sales Office 0002 records.
    What I expect is an error at the very beginning when the user execute the query, saying the cube contains data that the user is not suppose to see, the user need to put in the correct Sales Office as criteria first.
    Is there anyone can help on this issue?? I have no idea how can this happened?
    Many Thanks!!!
    Chris

    Hi,
    Now I understood your concern correctly. Unfortunately, I do not have prompt answer for you. So, User should be able to view the aggregated result, but not to irrelevant sales office. If you don't have condition on Aggregated Result, restricting to individual Sales Office can be done in RSECADMIN.
    Let's wait for other's opinions.......

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

  • Bonjour - Mac A can see Mac B but not vice versa

    Hi
    Very odd behaviour with Bonjour. Up until yesterday, my macbook pro (call it A) would see my mac pro (B) - it would appear automatically in A's sidebar, I could listen to B's iTunes library on A and so on. No problem and there hasn't been for a couple of years. B could not see A - but I didn't really need it to and this wasn't an issue.
    Suddenly, this morning, the situation is completely reversed. A can no longer see B at all, but B can see A.
    I can connect both ways by using 'Connect', I can ping both ways, but I can't get A to discover B using Bonjour.
    The only think I've done that I can think can have caused the changes is to use Omnifocus sync (with B holding the sync server) - it worked fine all day, but overnight Bonjour seems to have reversed itself as described above.
    Bonjour Browser shows me that B can see A, but A can't see B. I have identical settings on both machines for sharing, network, firewall (all everything).
    Bizarrely, for one two minute period a couple of hours ago, the situation reversed itself (A could see B but not vice versa), but then immediately went back to B can see A, but not vice versa.
    Both computers are running the same version of Leopard (10.5.7). I've reinstalled the OS on B, just to see, but this hasn't improved matters.
    I can find nothing on google or this discussions forum to explain this bizarre behaviour - most support threads seem to peter out without being resolved. Has anyone any idea what's going on please? I'm quite happy getting stuck into the command line, if that's needed.
    Many thanks
    David

    The Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly to the router, the Mac Pro connects to the same router by ethernet.
    As far as I'm aware, I'd made no changes to any of the setups (computers or router) before the problem occurred: bonjour worked fine, but in one direction only (the MBP could see the Mac Pro, but not vice versa). Now, the Mac Pro can see the MBP, but not vice versa - and this is a problem because my printer and itunes server both sit on the Mac Pro.
    I've set all the firewall and security settings I could find to transparent access - and (except for the obvious difference between the wired and wireless links), the setups are identical on both computers.
    By the way, I can connect to the Mac Pro easily enough and transfer files, I just can't see it via bonjour or use Screen Sharing (again the settings haven't changed since they were working!)
    Many thanks

  • Iphoto : can see all thumbnails but not full size

    I imported about 1000 photos into ipod and I can see the thumbnails just fine. But, when I double click on any thumbnail, all I see is a big white empty box with a ? inside. Please help!

    Andy:
    Give this a try: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

  • In my .ipa viewer builder i can see free folio but not retail folio

    Hi,
    here's my prob: i am testing my viewer app for a multifolio subscription app. I can see the free issue but not the retail issue. I checked probably all the possible probs: in app purchase and retail folio have same ID, i logged out from iTunes and created a test account for the purchase. But after i tested and downloaded the free issue and loaded in the folio organizer the retail folio, nothing else appears in my .ipa...
    Any help would be soooooo appreciated

    ok, solved (but i'll leave the thread on, so it might be useful to anyone else): the problem was about IDs. Bundle ID was different from folio ID (i mean com.company.publication). They HAVE to be exactly the same

  • Wireless devices can see wireless network but not connect

    Can anyone please assist?  I have a WRT54GS v2.  My wired computer accesses the Net fine and I can see MAC address, IP Address, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway in the linksys browser software. The devices can see the network with strong bars but cannot connect.
    HELP!
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is possible that the router could have encountered some wireless interference, doughboy17. You may try adjusting the wireless channels of the router. Use channels 6, 3, 1 and 11. Have you tried checking if you still have the correct Wi-Fi password?
    If you have the correct network settings, try requesting for the firmware file and perform an update. That might help in resolving this matter. Or, you may proceed on doing a factory reset and configure the router again.

  • User can see the subject are but nothing under the subject area.

    Hi
    I have OBIEE 11g.
    I was thinking this is a very simple case where I have one subject area for which I want to create a user such that it can create analysis and reports on that subject area.
    I BIAdmin can do that currently.
    So I created a new user in console. Under the 'Groups' tab of this user, I choose 'BIAuthors' from the 'Parents Group Available'.
    Then I logged in as this user. User was able to see the subject area but only the header. When it clicks on the expand ( + icon in tree) it expands to nothing.
    So i logged into the rpd and Under Identity -Manage , and open the properties for BIAuthor. and under Permissions , I gave BIAuthor the permission to the subject area.
    That did not help.
    I also opened the subject area from the presentation layer and under permission I made sure that "Everone" has Read access.
    But even after a bounce the user just sees the header and it expands to nothing,
    Any suggestion.
    (I was also thinking that why do I see BIAuthors in weblogic where as BIAuthor in rpd (without s ). I was thinking the rpd BIAuthor is something from 10g version.
    Thanks for all the help.

    Hi,
    Better to decline the subfolder permissions from the user @answers,then user can only see the subject area but he can't access the subfolders...

  • Tablet & mobile can see desktop tabs but not in the other way

    Hi
    I have an android tablet, an android phone, a laptop, and a desktop at work. All with synced firefox.
    I use aurora on laptop and desktop, and beta on both android.
    On the desktop, i can only see tabs from the laptop, and on the laptop, only one from desktop.
    And on both android, i can see tabs from both laptop and desktop.
    In all cases, i can't see tabs from the both android.
    Sync is ok because i can see desktop ones on the android but it's not as useful as it could be if i can't have all tabs on every firefox, i cannot read on my tablet or my desktop tabs previously opened on the phone. I can see them in the history, though.
    Any hint about this?

    Did you check the sync setting to see if the tabs are synced?

  • I backed up my phone because I was upgrading hardware but when I went to "restore from backup" it wasn't listed in iTunes. I can see the files in a folder but not in iTunes.  Is there any way of backing up my phone from the most recent backup?

    The following says how to restore from backup.

  • Lightroom 5 - I downloaded original purchase 2.14.  After a crash I reloaded today.  I can see the files but can't open. I don't want monthly cloud subscription I want open the program.  Customer Care (no phone support and email are awful)

    Why won't my LR 5 open?

    I have described the whole issue here.  It seems like there is NO support unless I buy a subscription. 
    After paying for this CD (Amazon) and I have the serial # .  The files are there but nothing opens. 
    Customer Care on the website is useless!  All it does is go to troubleshooting which didn’t help at all.  That’s how I got to forums. 
    I have WIN 8.  No screen capture, all you see are files/folders.
