How to Use Security Level Permissions in Sensitive Information - AnySecura Manual

This guide will show you how to grant users the ability to see and manage document classifications, a task controlled by the Security Level Permissions feature within the AnySecura Sensitive Information module.

You'll learn to configure these permissions, from allowing simple viewing to enabling users to set appropriate classification levels, giving you precise control over how sensitive data is handled across your organization.
