Help in DMS needed.

Question

Dear, Gurus.
I have a small problem that I would like to resolve if possible.
I create dms document attached a text file to it and assign it to my sales order object, then save.
When I go to va03 display and choose the dms document that is attached with it. I see my dms document and attachment of text file. When I open it and write something it is saving to that dms. I want to give the user only authorization to see the attachment but not have the right to write and save anything. How can I do this.
I hope scenario is pretty much clear.
In other words, anybody who opens a transactional screen if it be order, delivery or whatever, should see it yes but when he double clicks on his dms document he should not be able to write anything on the attached text file to that dms document.
Right so when user double clicks his dms document he will see an attachment to that dms. When he double clicks the text file for example. he can see and write even on that same text file. I dont want him to be able to do that.

As you say, you cannot control the application to be used, but you can control if the document can be checked out / checked in into DMS (so it can be changed locally but not updated into the content server).
For that, you should have a look into authorization objects in DMS and set the rights to read, and take out the update. With that authorization object you won't see anymore the pencil button to modify, but just a read button.
Edited: I think the authorization object you may look for is  C_DRAW_DOK
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Neil
