Description
Hi
There is already the functionality to restrict editing to a specific group of users. What would be nice also is, if there were the possibility to restrict editing not only to groups but also to specific file-types.
Example:
I would like to allow editing only for files "odt, ods, odp, ....". Files like "xlsx, docx, ..." should only be opended in read-only mode. Otherwise clean Office-Files might be corrupted by Collabory Office (LibreOffice)
Does this make sense?
Best regards
René

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing restriction of editing to specific user groups in richdocuments, then inspect how file types and read-only mode are handled for Collabora Office. Done means users can edit the requested office formats while files such as xlsx and docx open read-only without corruption.
