Drawers provide the first hierarchical level of organization for Perceptive Content documents, and they are used to separate documents and folders into logical categories.
You might think of drawers as individual departments. For example, the accounting department data can be stored separately from the sales department data by having separate "Accounting" and "Sales" drawers.
In addition to providing a distinct level of organization, you can use drawers to assign or deny access to particular documents and folders. For example, only users in the accounting department may need to see certain folder contents. These particular folders can be stored in a drawer named "Accounting." Access to that drawer can be restricted at the user or group level by assigning the appropriate privileges.
