Access Rights
There are two access rights, view and download. Here you set what user groups can see the file and then download the file.
Geo Groups
For Geo Groups there are also two access rights, view and download. The GEO rights and Access Rights are always in combination. Meaning the rights are combined upon evaluation.
Redirect to a Page
In order to redirect user to a page before downloading (usually a form), the Access Rights for download must have have a group assigned other than everybody. Redirection URLs are defined in the setup section and optionally may be selected per each file individually.
Example: User needs to login or register before downloading the software
Resolution: Set "Download" right to "users" in Access Rights. The CMS page that you redirect to will need two documents, one for everybody and one for users. The everybody page will contain the login/registration form. The registration form must integrate with CRM and log the user in upon submission. The document page for users will need to have a tag on it in the source code, <sys:dld-grant-access"/>
