Disable attachments download, export, print and other functions in specific spaces

Ollie Guan

Recently, some teams using Confluence have put forward more advanced requirements for information confidentiality.

These space administrators want to prohibit users from downloading, exporting, and printing attachments in designated spaces.

Last week, I checked a lot of related setting posts in the community. According to the community’s suggestions, I adjusted the space configuration for your reference.

Hide the download button on the preview page

Space Tools--Look and feel--Layout--Content Layouts---Page Layout

style type="text/css"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.cp-control-panel-download {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;display:none !important;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.cp-waiting-message-download {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;display:none !important;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.download-all-link {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;display: none !important;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a#download-all-link {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;display: none !important;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;</style><

Many thanks for this!  This is extremely useful. Exactly what I was looking for. 

I have tried the above and it works well. There is one exception though:

When you preview the file, you can still right-click and "save as..." which bypasses the whole setup.
