Protection Against Unauthorised Access

The author of the file can define a password in order to allow a user access to a document without giving him owner rights in the rights table. This allows a user to access a document, independent of the existing rights definition. This alternative method saves time in such cases where, for example, a whole department needs to be granted access to a single file. Further settings providing additional document security are possible. For example, a superior, who is the author of a document, can set read-only or editing rights both for himself and others. A change of the rights definition is then required prior to deleting the file. An erroneous deletion of the file can be prevented in this way.

Non-Compromising Security

Through the use of this technology ArcFlow guarantees that the security and anonymity requirements of certain documents are fulfilled. Confidential data and non-official information is simply made invisible to the users so that not even the administrator can access it anymore. For the management, however, nothing changes – they can continue to process the document as they did before – without having to make any changes to the rights structure.
