Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I am looking for a way to restrict downloading (well the visibility of the download icon) by user group or user name.

I know you can do the following which seem to work globally and affect all user groups and users
- turn off Downloading altogether within Configuration->Options and you can grant
- restrict download of particular album photos using the Download Permissions plugin

Is there anyway to do the above based on groups or particular users?

I would like to have a view only group (with no download permissions).

If there is not a builtin option: Is there somewhere in the API that I could hack so that I can control the display of the download icon perhaps by editing something within the localfiles editor.

It seems that Piwigo does not give easy security control.
