Restrict download and prevent copying to another library
Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing fine.
Is it possible for the owner of a group library to restrict PDF downloads and prevent copying to another library? We need this capability for a project in which we are using Zotero for our research bibliography, while also managing document permissions through another platform, Nextcloud. We would like our group members to be able to read the documents without the option to download them.
I understand that it might be difficult, especially when considering the standalone version of Zotero. However, there may be a way, and this feature could be useful to others as well.
Thank you.

You can avoid adding files directly to the group library and instead add web links to another platform where you have different access permissions or some form of DRM, but that's it.
