Security: roles, permissions, and the community model

Security in PolicyCenter is managed through roles, permissions, and producer codes. This security makes the application flexible, robust, and keeps your information protected. The PolicyCenter default application contains a set of roles that perform the policy tasks in most producer organizations. To perform these tasks, a user must be assigned a role with the appropriate permissions. The sample data in the base configuration includes the Community Admin role. A user with this role can work with the community model. This user can assign permissions to roles. Once the roles are configured, then each PolicyCenter user is assigned a specific role that relates to the tasks to be performed. Besides role-based security, PolicyCenter also provides data-based security which is managed through producer codes and producer organizations.

PolicyCenter also allows you to control access to documents and notes through access permissions.
