Prevent the user from saving files to disk.
Disable file saving
You can disable the Save and Save As dialogs. This
can be useful if you are giving temporary access to a user or you do not want
the user to save files to the computer.
This feature will only work in applications which support it! Not all
GNOME and third party applications have this feature enabled. These changes
will have no effect on applications which do not support this feature.
Disable file saving
-
Create the key file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-filesaving to provide
information for the local database.
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-filesaving
# Specify the dconf path
[org/gnome/desktop/lockdown]
# Prevent the user from saving files on disk
disable-save-to-disk=true
-
To prevent the user from overriding these settings, create the file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/filesaving with the following
content:
/etc/dconf/db/local.db/locks/filesaving
# Lock file saving settings
/org/gnome/desktop/lockdown/disable-save-to-disk
