security property

BuiltInDocumentProperties.security property

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

@property
def security(self) -> aspose.words.properties.DocumentSecurity:
    ...

@security.setter
def security(self, value: aspose.words.properties.DocumentSecurity):
    ...

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 Document.protect() and Document.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.

doc = aw.Document()
self.assertEqual(aw.properties.DocumentSecurity.NONE, doc.built_in_document_properties.security)
# If we configure a document to be read-only, it will display this status using the "Security" built-in property.
doc.write_protection.read_only_recommended = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx')
self.assertEqual(aw.properties.DocumentSecurity.READ_ONLY_RECOMMENDED, aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx').built_in_document_properties.security)
# Write-protect a document, and then verify its security level.
doc = aw.Document()
self.assertFalse(doc.write_protection.is_write_protected)
doc.write_protection.set_password('MyPassword')
self.assertTrue(doc.write_protection.validate_password('MyPassword'))
self.assertTrue(doc.write_protection.is_write_protected)
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx')
self.assertEqual(aw.properties.DocumentSecurity.READ_ONLY_ENFORCED, aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx').built_in_document_properties.security)
# "Security" is a descriptive property. We can edit its value manually.
doc = aw.Document()
doc.protect(type=aw.ProtectionType.ALLOW_ONLY_COMMENTS, password='MyPassword')
doc.built_in_document_properties.security = aw.properties.DocumentSecurity.READ_ONLY_EXCEPT_ANNOTATIONS
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx')
self.assertEqual(aw.properties.DocumentSecurity.READ_ONLY_EXCEPT_ANNOTATIONS, aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx').built_in_document_properties.security)
