Note permission overview

In addition to using the standard system permissions for notes, you can control access to notes by configuring note access permissions in security-config.xml. To use this feature, a note must have a note security type set. To see a note of a particular type, a user must have both permission to view notes generally and the permission to access to the note security type.

You set the security type for a note type by setting the note Security Type in PolicyCenter or through a Gosu class that you write. In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the following note security types in the NoteSecurityType typelist:

• Internal Only
• Sensitive
• Unrestricted
