When a file is opened in the viewer, the system checks whether the user has the security permissions to view this file. If the user has the permissions, then the system shall check whether the selected file is available in the respective viewer's folder. If the file is available in the folder, then the file is opened in the viewer

If the file is not available in the respective viewer folder, then the file is downloaded from the vault and is displayed in the configured viewer.

NOTE: Currently the files are copied from the vault each time a user attempts to view the file. Instead of this, a cache is maintained, where these files can persevere. Security rights of the user are evaluated before granting access to the file.
