Possibly to make the exported Word file read-only?

[affans]

I am using the vscode extension to export a qmd file to a docx file. Everything works great but I'd rather have the extension produce a read-only file so that others should only modify the qmd file if they want changes.

Is it possible to set some sort of parameter to make the file read only? It seems like it is possible since the 'preview' when exporting to word file shows a readonly file.

Create a post-render script where you set the permission you want to the file.
Note that the permission does not matter if the user is root or as root privileges.

See https://quarto.org/docs/projects/scripts.html#pre-and-post-render.
