Automatically Control Access to Documents/Items
Many documents/items stored in your SharePoint may contain sensitive data that needs to be protected or securely shared. Permission by Rule (formerly Permission Workflow) provides a solution that automatically controls access to documents/items.
Assign Permissions based on Conditions
Instead of manually setting permission for each document in library, you can define a condition to automatically control users’ access to documents based on metadata properties such as document status, document classification and so on.
Assign Permissions based on Roles
You can control users’ access to documents based on their roles in your organization, such as only allowing Managers to approve documents. Also, you can assign permissions to users, groups or user columns (such as Assign To).
