Allow excel top open only for selected domains

Hello Team
My question is related to a question posted earlier:

How to Restrict permissions on an Excel spreadsheet to limited set of users?

@cpopescu, Thanks for the sample file. I checked and tested your file a bit. Your issue is related to the topic discussed in this thread. I got “Permission is required to open this file” when trying to open the file via Aspose.Cells APIs. When trying opening the file manually in Ms Excel, MS Excel requires permissions and account credentials for it as well. Aspose.Cells works on file format and underlying xml data of the source file. I am afraid, as we told earlier (in the thread) there is no …

Problem Statement:
Can I allow excel to be opened to users with specific domains only.
For example, users with emailID’s XXXXX@abc.com and XXXXX@xyz.com.
Users with abc.com/xyz.com should be able to open the file but rest of the users shouldn’t be able to open the file.

We use aspose with excel extensively in our projects. Please let me know if this is achievable.

Thanks
Sunil S

@susoma,

No, this is not possible via Aspose.Cells APIs. There is no such options available and encryption info documented in the source file, so we might not support such a feature which is rather related to MS Excel application. Moreover, Aspose.Cells does not support reading such encrypted files as there are no encryption details in the files. Aspose.Cells works on file format and underlying xml data of the source file only.

Makes sense.
