Usage permissions

Access and Usage Permissions define what end users can and cannot do with a protected file. As a Security Administrator, one of the key responsibilities is to manage security policies. To perform it well you need to know different usage permissions available in system which later can be applied to a policy.

For easier understanding, let’s group the permissions as follows:

Basic permissions
View	allows users to open or access a protected file.
Lite Viewer	allows users to open a protected file using Seclore Online (agent-less viewing and editing), Seclore Lite for Windows, iOS/Android, and Mac
Screen Captures	allows users to take screen captures, share the file using screen sharing tools, and access the file within a virtual machine (VM) or a virtual environment
Edit	allows users to edit the contents of a file
Copy Data	allows users to copy content from one protected file to another protected file only
Print	allows you to print the file (not available for Print to PDF)
Macro	allows users to view, edit and execute macros (programs) in MSOffice and OpenOffice files
Full Control	grants you all the rights mentioned above, as well as the right to remove all protection from a file
Offline	allows you to access and work on a file in offline mode
Share	allows you to extend your rights on a file to other users

Finally, here’s how permissions are grouped for end users.

Permission groups	Permissions included	What recipients can do
