Document permission overview

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

You set a document type by using the document’s Security Type on the user interface or through a Gosu class that you write. In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the following document security types in the DocumentSecuritytype typelist:

• Internal Only
• Sensitive
• Unrestricted
