Prohibit File Download

This may be site wide or specific user/group
Doesn't matter for now.

I'm thinking out/out.ViewDocument.php is the way to go here but may be wrong.

out/out.ViewDocument.php isn't enough. It just outputs the links to the download page op/op.Download.php. Somebody with some knownledge on how letodms works could easily access the document anyway. If you want to reliably prevent somebody from downloading a document you will have to do it in op/op.Download.php.

The idea isn't bad and it raises the question whether the current access restrictions could be extended by a 'download allowed' option. IMHO, this would be the most reasonable way to go, but I doubt it is easy to accomplish. Access rights have a given order of 'no access', 'read access' and 'write access'. 'download' should probably be between 'read' and 'write'. Internally the access rights are stored as 1,2, and 3. So, adding a new right requires reordering and lots of changes to the database content.
