Easily secure SharePoint documents based on metadata

Because it is difficult to set up per-document permissions, many SharePoint administrators implement the standard inheritance method of security.  Unfortunately, this method does not provide the level of security needed to protect sensitive documents, and may result in users getting access to documents they should not have access to.

Titus Labs Metadata Security for SharePoint allows administrators to build access rules based on the document’s assigned metadata properties.  These metadata rules can then be assigned to a document library or content type.  Metadata Security can automatically produce specific permissions for each document in the library, without having to do tedious item-level permission assignment. 
Because per-document security is much easier to set up, administrators can easily create a Document Library that different groups of users can share.  Each group can have different and specific types of permissions.

Key Benefits

• Automatically applies security permissions based on the document’s metadata properties – making per-document security much easier.
• Automatically assigns permissions based on the file’s SharePoint content type – providing greater protection for sensitive content types.
• Enables creation of one document library for all users instead of special Document Libraries for different classes of users.
•  Allows permissions to be assigned to users or groups based on their Active Directory properties, so security can be based on user or group attributes such as department and position.

Metadata Security for SharePoint is supported on Microsoft SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.
