Hi @nameisnani ,

OOB read ACL only allows a user to see any attachment if they have 'ITIL' or any other superior role.

If not then there is an additional check to see if it's User's attachment so as to make it visible.

Hi @nameisnani 

 

As expert @Community Alums  said, OOB ACL allow to read/see any attachment with ITIL and other role. So user will able to download the attachmement.

 

I am not sure is there any way to do , other than some specific script or else. But could you please tell me what is business case for the same? It may impact user experience as well if you not allow to download.
