If you take away the "Export" privilege in the ACL , what all does it prevent.

Solution

In the Docs it talks about the Export privilege:

Home -> Administering Teamcenter -> Access Manager -> Creating and managing access control lists (ACLs) -> Access privileges

Export -> Controls the privilege to export objects from the database.

So EXPORT privilege is for metadata not for actual data (files in volumes).

The ability to download files from volume is controlled by VIEW access. So in TC that what one cannot view, one cannot download.

Also, if the customer does set the ACL to restrict the Export of the data, there is one thing that they would need to watch for.

It will not be able to distinguish EXPORT privilege for Remote export and generate reports

There is an ER to have this functionality changed in the future.

So it looks like if the customer makes the Export privileget restricted and it will restrict all export options such as export to excel, export with plmxml, and remote export...

Here is an example of how the customer can set this.

Create an ACL in Access Manager application on a Site A by denying "EXPORT" privilege to Site = Site A accessor if the object has attribute "ip_classication" attribute equal to "secret"
