Hi Amit, Welcome to the world of SharePoint and Managers. A few questions Do you have access to SharePoint designer or Visual Studio? are you the Site Collection Admin or site admin? Will assume that you have SharePoint Designer and Site Collection Admin. 1. Should only able to store the document in word and pdf format. A Document Library is designed to hold all forms of documents so you will have to add Code to block other extensions beyond .docx, .PDF ( which is not best practice you might have to explain that one) 2. User with technician role should only be able to view document. User with this role shouldn't’t be able to download the document on their local drive. This will have to be a custom permission you can set, I think its read with limited permission. Also Techs dont need to see the data to set up the list/library for use. Once and Admin is assigned then only who they grant permission to can see the data even Tech staff. 3. User with management role should be able to read as well as download the document. This is another permission under the contribute level. 4. Third party system should able to save and download the documents via standard interface like web service Create a Site with unique permissions and grant users or groups to that site or Create a managed account to use for this and grant it access to a system Library that the documents will be housed in. I hope this answer some of your question or at least guided you on a path to search for more detailed answers. So far you have lots a permsission based questions look in that area more as your request grow.

Hi Fab, First of all thanks for your reply. It seems to me that I am not able to explain the problem properly. Please accept my apology I am rephrasing the query. Query 2-> I am more looking a solution where technician would be able to open the word document but wouldn’t be able to save it on local disk plus wouldn’t be able to perform copy operation to copy a part of document. Technician should be able to view the content of word document. Query 3-> user would be able to save the document on local machine plus would be able to perform copy operation from document to copy a part of document. Query 4-> As solution would host a store number of documents so we have decided that data center template will be used to create the site. In this site there will a document library which will store the documents. As per my limited knowledge Third part system can access the document library in document center site with help of sharepoint web service model. Is it feasible so any other method is suggested? Thanks in advance. Regards Amit

Just a little correction, Query 4-> As solution would store a large numbers of documents
