    Restricting file types which can be uploaded to ProjectWise

    Hi, is it possible to restrict the types of files that can be uploaded to ProjectWise?

    Example, after a security review it was highlighted that .EXE files should be restricted from being uploaded to PW

    Any help would be appreciated.

      Not to my knowledge. You could build a tools with Poweshell that automatically deletes them but any uploaded would exist until the next pass of the script.

      since Projectwise works by copying files to the local machine perhaps you could configure your anti-virus to block any exe in the working directory?

      oh yeah, one other thing you can do is assign EXEs to open with notepad. That prevents them from launching properly.
