Setting up security policies Types of security policies If you often apply the same security settings to multiple PDFs, you can save your settings as a policy that you can reuse. Security policies save time while ensuring a more consistently secure workflow. Creating policies for password and certificate security lets you reuse the same security settings for any number of PDFs. Two kinds of security policies are available: • Organizational policies are especially useful if you want others to have access to PDFs for a limited time. Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES policies are stored on a server, and users must have access to the server to use them. Creating these policies requires specifying the document recipients from a list on Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES. Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES controls access to PDFs and auditing events as defined by the security policy. You can use Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES if your company has licensed the software and made it available to you. • User policies are policies created and applied by individuals. If you apply the same security settings to numerous documents, you can save time by creating a user policy. Then, apply the user policy to documents. User policies for passwords and public key certificates are stored on your local computer. With access to Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES, you can create a user policy that's stored on Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES. That policy is available only to you. How organizational policies are authenticated In addition to reusing security settings, policies stored on Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES enable you to expire and revoke documents (no matter how many copies were created or distributed). You can also maintain accountability by auditing users who open protected documents. Last updated 9/30/2011
