A document’s security attributes include Setting Permissions and Access Permissions:

• Setting Permissions: Defines who can modify the document’s security attributes. Only one security area and level can be assigned.
• Access Permissions: Defines who can open or edit the encrypted document. Multiple security areas and levels can be assigned.

Clients with direct permission to modify encrypted document security attributes can use the Encryption tab in File Explorer or the scan tool, or right-click and select Modify Security Attributes to change the document’s security attributes.
