As regulations aimed at protecting personal data and information intensify, it is vital to have control over content and processes. Information Governance “invisibly” embedded in your ECM system and content-driven processes can help manage content and strengthen compliance—so that it just happens.
Roles-based access for records management functions and permissions
Ensure the security of your content and control who can see which records and can work in different areas of a file plan by setting permissions on folders and categories for individual users, groups, or by records management role.
- Ensure security with roles and capabilities that control what functionality is available to users and groups
- Choose from dozens of unique capabilities to assign what each role can do
- Quickly assign users and groups the same level of functionality, assign a user to multiple roles at the same time, and manage roles to change capabilities

Security and Controlled Access FAQ
Security controls establish the level of clearance required to access specific documents and records. Users that do not have the requisite clearance level will not even be aware that the content exists.
Often, specific types of content have common classification requirements across an organization. Classification guides serve as templates that help quickly classify content with preset security controls. Alfresco Governance Services lets you create as many classification guides as you require at any level of complexity or simplicity.
Security marks are the security controls that can be added to content, records, folders, and categories—so that only users with the required security level can view or access them.
Security clearance defines what content a user sees based on their assigned security classification. Once security marks are assigned to content, users can only see content for which they have the required security clearance.
