Portals; Allow Clients to download Account and Client Documents not belonging to the signed-in Client

Web Services security prevents Clients accessing another Client's Documents or Documents for an Account that the Client is not listed on.

However, there may be situations where a Portal needs to allow this functionality.

By encrypting the Id of the Account or Client when generating an Application Shortcut, this can be achieved, e.g.:

ApplicationShortcut = finBL.CreateApplicationShortcutDocumentManagerFile("Account", "AdviceA.PDF", finBL.HtmlWidgetUtilities.EncryptId("L10012"))

ApplicationShortcut = finBL.CreateApplicationShortcutDocumentManagerFile("Client", "LetterA.PDF", finBL.HtmlWidgetUtilities.EncryptId("C10012"))

The above example allows the generated Application Shortcuts to download a document in Account L10012's Document Manager, even if the signed-in Client isn't listed on this Account. The second example allows the Client to download a different Client's Document.
