Output Excel file as Read Only

BIInsights

Hello,
Does anyone know a way of outputting an Excel file from a workflow so that the file is Read Only. We want to output a file that cannot be amended by other users (but we would still want the workflow to 'Overwrite Sheet (Drop)'.

 

Thanks,

Mat

Hi @BIInsights 

 

What I'd probably do instead is to output the file into a folder in which you have both Read and Write access but all the other users only Read access. Would that work?

 

Thanks

Hi,

Yes that would work (I was just hoping to avoid setting up a new folder with different security).

 

Thanks,

Mat
