21.10 Long-Term Offline Authorization Settings

Long-term offline authorization defines the permissions for clients with encryption enabled when they cannot connect to the server. For example, if company executives frequently work offsite, long-term offline authorization ensures they can still view and edit encrypted documents.

Long-term offline permissions allow specifying a time range during which encrypted documents can be accessed offline. These permissions can also include decryption, external document access, authorized software, and secure zone rights, configured similarly to encryption permissions.

When Windows, Mac, or Linux clients are online, long-term offline permissions take effect immediately. When Windows clients are offline, you can export an offline authorization file and send it to the client, where it can be imported to apply the permissions.
