Security

Laserfiche security encompasses both user authentication and authorization to access protected resources. Laserfiche allows users to authenticate to the repository in two ways: logging in with a username and password or automatically authenticating using their Windows account. Users of both kinds can be assigned to Laserfiche groups.

Authorization (privileges, feature rights, access rights, and security tags) must be configured to allow for appropriate user access to the repository.

• Privileges grant the ability to perform an action (e.g., create users, delete documents, view fields, etc.) in the repository.
• Feature rights control what actions (e.g., printing, scanning, importing and exporting, etc.) the user is allowed to perform.
• Four types of access rights—entry, field, template, and volume—control what actions the user can perform on documents and folders, field or template data, or at the volume level, respectively.
• Security tags on an entry only allows users with all of the security tags assigned to that document to access the document.
