Introducing GIBS DataRoom for Oqtane
A secure document-sharing module for Oqtane with inline viewing, protected downloads, ZIP export, and built-in access logging.
Why this module?
Many teams need a controlled place to share business files inside their portal without exposing direct file paths or skipping authorization checks. GIBS DataRoom adds a secure, policy-based document area directly into your Oqtane experience.
Key capabilities
Secure file access
Validates module authorization and ensures files belong to the selected Data Room folder.
Inline file viewing
Supports in-browser rendering for common formats with no-store/no-cache response headers.
ZIP export
Downloads all available files in a Data Room as a single ZIP for quick handoff.
Activity logging
Tracks view/download events including user ID, timestamp (UTC), and client IP.
How it works
- User requests a file action (view, download, or ZIP).
- Module checks Oqtane policy authorization for the module context.
- Server verifies the file belongs to the requested Data Room folder.
- Action is logged for auditability.
- File is streamed securely to the browser.
