[Feature Request] Locked (Read-Only) Models / Components

Back on topic…

@Tommy in Say “Hi” to my.SketchUp, said:

Part I: To create a folder with read-only permissions while using my.SketchUp, check out this video.

Part II: To invite a user to the read-only folder, one option is to create a group for your clients, and always assign that Client group to read-only mode for specific folders. I made a second video demonstrating this process.

Are the client users allowed to save the file to their own TC “filestore” ?

I guess I am asking why is a folder permission, the same as what we have been asking for, for years now, …

Which is a true locked model file format which protects IP and prevents inadvertent (or overzealous) editing ? (… and if inserted, prevents exploding.)

If someone (the model author) accidentally makes a mistake (or some server-side error occurs) and the TC folder permissions get reset back to no restrictions, … are the model file (in the folder) still read-only ?
