Security
Security is very important regarding document management. Access rights are according to job description and will be managed by the DMS system administrator. These determine accessibility to the links and documents. The rights are as follows:
The person writing the document is also automatically the owner and can decide who may have access to the documentation by selecting the rights. Documents can also be shared between people giving only those people access to them. Security rights also determine which files can be accessed and which are confidential.
Documents can also be made visible for public view and linked into websites.
