Here is a bit of info from the Zafesoft website:
Organizations need to share sensitive information with employees, contractors, third parties, vendors and others. These needs can be divide into two broad categories:
1. Read Only Sharing – Such as PDF or other files shared with multiple users across organizations. Authorized users can only ‘view’. Users cannot copy, paste, edit , print screen, screen scrape, or otherwise take the secure content. The sharing could be time constrained.
2. Sharing with Edit – Such as DOC, PDF, XLS or other files can be securely shared, edited, and collaborated upon. They are never available to unauthorized users. The users with edit rights can edit content in its native editor, without new learning. The information is secure from print screen or screen scraping etc. The content is NOT stored in the CLOUD.
There is also a need by department or project, or roll-up but not roll-down security.
1. Sharing by Department/Project – For information that needs to be shared within a department or a project, but NOT across them. The users that belong to multiple projects will be able to work with information from the multiple projects, but not copy from one to the other.
