A question came up if SP 2013 has an OOTB feature to restrict what users can view in a Doc Library depending on the status of the doc like Draft, Review or Approved state independent of Versioning? There is a setting in Versioning settings to handle what users can see as Draft but the need is to de-couple the link between the 2.
The plan is to create a metadata column for Doc Status (Draft, Review, Approved) and then set permission based on this column. So when someone filters on Doc Status=Draft, then only those users with access to Draft docs will be able to view/update those docs. We are not looking at a 3rd party tool. In-house customization like code, if not complicated, would be welcome. Or is this feature available in SP 2016?
Thanks!
