Security

BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security property

Specifies the security level of a document as a numeric value.

public DocumentSecurity Security { get; set; }

Remarks

Use this property for informational purposes only because Microsoft Word does not always set this property. This property is available in DOC and OOXML documents only.

To protect or unprotect a document use the Protect and Unprotect methods.

Aspose.Words updates this property to a correct value before saving a document.

Examples

Shows how to use document properties to display the security level of a document.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.None, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// If we configure a document to be read-only, it will display this status using the "Security" built-in property.
doc.WriteProtection.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyRecommended, 
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// Write-protect a document, and then verify its security level.
doc = new Document();

Assert.False(doc.WriteProtection.IsWriteProtected);

doc.WriteProtection.SetPassword("MyPassword");

Assert.True(doc.WriteProtection.ValidatePassword("MyPassword"));
Assert.True(doc.WriteProtection.IsWriteProtected);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyEnforced,
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// "Security" is a descriptive property. We can edit its value manually.
doc = new Document();

doc.Protect(ProtectionType.AllowOnlyComments, "MyPassword");
doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security = DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations;
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations,
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);
