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 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. Users must have access to the server to use these
policies. 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 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. You can also maintain accountability by auditing users who open protected documents.
