Configure security marking propagation
For the PRO data model, which allows a parent object to inherit security marking settings from the child object, the System Administrator can configure the propagation of security markings. This configuration is set at the file plan level.
NOTE To use the propagation of security markings functionality, you must enable the SecurityPropagation event.
For more information, see "Enabling and subscribing to events" in the IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records Installation and Upgrade Guide.
To configure security marking propagation
- Log on to the IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records application as records administrator.
- Select the Configure tab.

- Both – Inheritance works in both directions.
