I think the feature you've described is a 'full rights' password. If the user enters the required password then the document can be opened, edited and saved using the same path and file name. And the feature has an interesting quirk, the password must be at least five characters or the OK button isn't enabled on the password dialog. I say interesting but for some it would certainly be frustrating since there is no label in the dialog saying the password must be at least five characters.
