Hello,

i want to make the document readonly when clicking on button.

There is no command for doing this with postmessage.

And checkfileinfo\_override seems working only for DownloadAsPostMessage.

Any ideas ?

Hey @nadirlouati ,

Thanks for the question + welcome to the forum! 🙂

> i want to make the document readonly when clicking on button.

Hmmm, what do you mean by “clicking on a button”?

Did you read the:

- [Installation Guide \> Configuration \> Feature Locking](https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/installation/Configuration.html?highlight=readonly#feature-locking)

It explains how to lock a host/user to ReadOnly.
