Allow user to download a PDF file on click of a button.

[Anubhuti Mittal]

I have a requirement to allow user to download a pdf file on click of a link.
I implemented this change using the sys_attachements table and referencing in the html as

<a href="sys_attachment.do?sys_id=17ca97ca1bbd8110775d7bff034bcb16" >

But the sys_attachments table is not accessible across board and some of the users are not able to access it?

Is there a way to pass system user credentials while accessing this file ?

if not , what will be the best approach to solve this ?

update the sys_attachment read acl

In case there is no acl create a new sys_attachment.none (READ) Acl

thanks for the response.

the sys_attachment table cannot be modified as it is being used by other modules / teams.

Hello @Anubhuti Mittal ,

I'm facing the same issue when external user clicks on download button while exporting excel sheet. The page redirects to sys_attachemnt.do.

Could you please help, thankyou.
