IP Protection Exceptions
Important: Intellectual Property (IP) Protected data can be exported from hard copy printouts, screen captures, or used with other products that might be used to capture thumbnail representations of the data. It is the user's responsibility to safeguard the IP Protected data and determine if the export, when distributed and used outside of the IP Protection application, constitutes a violation of the IP protection.

Access Restricted

As users work in their area of responsibility, they might never know that secured and sensitive information exists in the system. Awareness of such data depends on the type of masking applied to the items within the security class and the access provided to a user or group. If a user does not have access, the items, including searches, do not display.

Checking Naturally Authorized People

Security Officers know that with established rules the correct people are permitted to view information. Authorized people can be checked from each security class. Rules and exceptions can be examined separately.

Authorization by Exception

Authorized people can be checked from each security class. The exception that causes authorization is presented.
