I guess i need do something to the In the management interface go to the file and then click on the tab Security. Then uncheck 'Acquire Permission Settings'. That's all. No everyone who tries to download the file will be prompted. But try to read the book!

I added a new role Viewer. and unchecked Acquire Permission Settings' the checked view for role Viewer. after that i add a user user1 with role Viewer. I suppose i will be able to access myfile.db by prividing user1' password. but i failed!!! i can not access it. Can somebody give me a hint to settle this problem? Thanks
