Disable "Copy" etc. for Viewers/Checkers

Currently, "Viewer" and "Checker" Permission Levels provide Zero Security. Instead, they actually provide Viewers and Checkers with the Option to Copy a Project over to their very own private Workspace and assume ownership of what was supposed to be a "Viewer" or "Checker" only Project. Once owned, they can do anything they want with the Project.
Within the "Viewer" or "Checker" Roles themselves, users can also:
1) Print
2) Export
3) Add to Templates
All of these abilities are far beyond what a "Viewer" or "Checker" should be able to do!
While anyone can ultimately Click & Drag down a Project's page to copy and paste it elsewhere (unless this too could be prevented), it would still be better not to enable or even give Viewers & Checkers the very idea of copying, etc. which is currently being actively promoted by providing them with readily available options to violate their Given Permissions using the App itself.

We will look into this as either a Project Setting or Share Link setting, thanks for posting this.

Ideally, still keep the option to enable "Copy" but have Taskade remove access to the original and all copies that have been made when Sharing is revoked. This way, when Copies are desired by a Member, (e.g. to move a Shared Template into the their own Folder/Templates, so it's not mistaken or lost as a Project amongst other Shared Projects), the Permission to utilize them, including copies, can be maintained or revoked as desired.

Kairos: Hi there, understanding your suggestion you would like to remove the ability for viewers and checkers to export the project/add to template? Would this be a blanket removal or would the owner of the projects be able to set this permissions? Also the copy you are referring to is to more like a mirror instead, the "copy" keeps a relation to the original source and allows the original source to modify the copies. This can be quite challenging to maintain and track.

ryantaskade: Hi Ryan. Since keeping track of copies can be quite challenging to maintain and track, I think the most flexible solution would be to provide Admin's with the Settings Option to disable the ability for Viewers and Checkers to Copy Shared Projects/Templates or create Templates from Shared Projects. This would certainly satisfy any and all scenarios.
However, if that's not possible, I think simply disabling it for Viewers and Checkers would be the most aligned with the basic idea of limiting a user to Viewer or Checker permissions. By enabling copying for Viewers and Checkers, you're essentially giving them Ownership rights, unless I'm missing something by looking at this from too much of a Security perspective.
