My main concern is to allow my programmer to modify, execute this source
file
but prevent them to copy this file out of server.

1) Is there a way to prevent users copy file out of server
and this user is assign right to modify and execute this file? How?
2) Is there a auditing to keep track this user has copy this file out of
server?
Is yes, how and what is the audit id?

Thank You

Hi,

It is hard to prevent copying (or stealing) of something that users have
read or higher permissions. One of the rare if not the only option would be
Windows Rights Management Services.

You can find more information about it here:

I don't think you can prevent the user from copying the file if they can
open and view it. Assuming that the Source file can be opened and viewed,
they will always be able to select the entire thing and copy and paste into
another file. AFAIK you cannot prevent this. Maybe prevent access to
ClipBoard object or something. I think the most restrictive rights still
allow access to clipboard. I maybe wrong.
