Global security policy

The Global security policy acts as the default security policy for the system. The term "global" does not indicate that every user has full access to everything, but rather that this security policy is associated globally with every user by default.

You can create more security policies that extend the Global security policy, but the Global security policy is always in effect, regardless of any other security policies you create.

The Global security policy:

  • Applies to anyone who logs in to Collaborate
  • Cannot be disabled
  • Supersedes all other policies. When the system determines access rights for a user, the role that the user has in the Global security policy is always considered.
  • Contains permission settings for the default roles, Collaborate Administrator and Collaborate UserCollaborate Administrator, Corporate Marketer, and Field Marketer. The permission settings for these roles are used as the fallback or default for any user who does not currently qualify for an object or security policy rolea role in another security policy, object role, or project role.
