This page gives an overview of DRM Lite Viewer and Full Client. As well as provides a comparison between the two, and permission groups.
There are two versions of the DRM viewer:
- DRM Light Viewer: client-side application viewer which provides read-only view of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint (.dotx, .xltx, .potx) and .PDF documents in a DRM library.
- DRM Full Client: provides support for additional file types. You can download the DRM Full client from: https://drm.fps.exostar.com/policyserver/InstallerHelp.do.
The first time the DRM Viewer is used, you must download the viewer client. This does not require administrative permissions, and takes only a couple of minutes. The DRM Viewer client can be downloaded from: https://drm.fps.exostar.com/policyserver/start.
DRM Permissions
Anyone with permissions to the site and library can use DRM Libraries. Access and functionality are controlled by standard ForumPass permission groups administered by the Site Collection Administrator or Site Owner. The default permission groups are as follows:
NOTE: There are some combinations of operating systems and browser settings that allow screen capture regardless of the ForumPass permission settings. However, all DRM-protected documents are marked with a watermark containing the user’s name, the date and time the file was opened.
