If you add multiple instances of a specific Security Keyword Type to one user or User Group, that user or User Group will be able to view documents that contain any of the configured Security Keyword Values. For example, a user is configured with the following Security Keyword Types:
Department = Executive
Department = Sales
If this user attempts to retrieve documents that contain the Department Keyword Type, that user will be able to see all documents that have been indexed with the Department Keyword Value of Executive, as well as all documents that have been indexed with the Department Keyword Value of Sales.

Department = Sales
Employee = John Adams
