You can add Security Controls to files and folders so that only users with the required security level can view or access them. These security controls are created and configured using the Control Center and are applied to your files or folders from within the Digital Workspace. The Security Controls you create are made up of Controls created in the Control Center which are in turn made up of one or more Security Marks. You can create as many Security Marks that you require within the different Controls. The names of the Controls and Security Marks you create will be unique to your organization.
There are three different ways you can configure your Controls:
-
All = Users must have all Security Marks from the group that are applied to a file to see that file.
Example: A Security Group named Training contains Security Marks of Media and Data Handling. To see a file marked as both Media or Data Handling, a user must have both Media and Data Handling clearance.
-
Any = Users must have at least one of the Security Marks from the group that are applied to a file to see that file.
Example: A Security Group named Nationality contains Security Marks of UK, US, and Aus. To see a file marked as UK and US, a user must have UK and / or US clearance.
-
Hierarchical = Security Marks are ranked in the order they’re created. The mark created first in a security group has the greatest clearance, the one created last the least clearance.
Example: The predefined Classification group has marks of Top Secret, Secret, and Classified. To see a file classified as Secret, the user must have Secret or Top Secret clearance.
