Records management requires that certain documents be restricted to users with an appropriate level of security clearance. IBM® Enterprise Records implementations of the PRO data model and the DoD Classified data model allow assignment of security levels, which are also called markings.
In the PRO data model, you select a Security Category on the Set Properties step when adding a category or folder and when declaring a record. You can change the Security Category later by editing the property information associated with the entity.
In the DoD Classified data model, security classification is a separate step in the declaration process. For DoD Classified records, users select a security classification guide that sets the classification properties. You can change the classification later using the Upgrade, Downgrade, and Declassify actions.
For more information about declaring DoD Classified records, see the help topics about declaring a classified record and creating a classification guide.
For information about creating classification guides, see the creating and managing security classification guide topic.
For the PRO data model, the Records Administrator is assigned the Top Secret security category by default. The Secret, Confidential, and Restricted classifications inherit this setting. Unclassified is assigned to all users.
For the DoD Classified data model, no users are assigned to Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential classification levels. Authenticated users are assigned to Unclassified.
