In general, child objects inherit security markings from
the parent object. However, the PRO data model also allows parent
objects to inherit settings from the child object if the child is
given a more secure marking. Content Engine events
are used to propagate updates to the parent security markings.
Before you install IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records,
you should select the security marking propagation option that you
want to set for objects. By default the system is configured to No
propagation.
The following three security marking propagation options are available
in
InfoSphere Enterprise
Records:
- No propagation: Disables propagation from parent to child or child
to parent. This is the recommended and default option.
- Folder to Record: Child objects inherit security markings from
the parent object.
- Record to Folder: Parent objects inherit security markings from
the child object if the child is given a more secure marking.
