I&amp;#39;m trying to restrict access to File. I&amp;#39;ve set permissions to not allow Get/Discover but all files are still visible to anyone.
Any idea what&amp;#39;s going on here? Setting the Team behaves the same, ie nothing is enforced.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Restricting File Access - is it possible?</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/221?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:08:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:0c3613bc-d92e-44dc-9efd-c0330261a98e</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Solved, we were setting the property for our File through applySQL.

I&amp;#39;ve tried to use Permissions or Teams to do this, however the items still show up when doing a Get action, for instance. Most other ItemTypes honour these two methods of access control but apparantly not the File ItemType. :(

So yes, like you would want to stop a File from showing up in a Document through the Document File relationship.

It&amp;#39;s unfortunate because that means a File can&amp;#39;t contain anything important or sensitive. Unless this was fixed post SP6..

Thanks again for your time!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Restricting File Access - is it possible?</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/211?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Mar 2017 11:08:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:c7244b07-fc89-44f6-80f2-f95bef08d83f</guid><dc:creator>Jillian Jakubowicz</dc:creator><description>I&amp;#39;m not sure I completely understand your use case.

Could you please clarify whether you are trying to restrict access to related files on an ItemType, like the files on a Document item? Or are you trying to restrict access to Files via the TOC?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Restricting File Access - is it possible?</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/209?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Mar 2017 09:06:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:34696192-2839-4516-b291-3e1552675adf</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Hi Jillian,
