Assign or remove a security policy
A security policy controls the security settings for a document
based on the record's state in the object store. A security policy
consists of two or more security templates that define the security for
a record class based on the record's version state. The security policy
can assign a different security template to the record for each version
state: Released, In Process, Reservation, and Superseded. As the record
is checked out and in, or promoted or demoted from one version to another,
the security policy determines how the security of the record automatically
changes.
For more information on security policies, see Security policies.
