We currently have a system that allows users to upload documents. We are currently filtering out password protected documents using the ispasswordprotected() smart function. Recently we encountered a document that was "Restricted" (Please see attached image). Is there any function currently within Appian that allows the system to check if a document has any "Protections" on it at all. the above smart function does not account for the additional types of protections outside of passwords.

No, Does not have a function to detect all document protections beyond password protection. Only password-protected files can be detected.

25.3 onwards document() function returns metadata (name, extension, size, createdBy, createdOn, etc.) for uploaded documents.
