Any enterprise needs to protect documents against unauthorised access, copying, changes and deletions. FileDirector SBE ensures comprehensive security for the documents it handles. To that end, the software makes use of a range of different mechanisms, working together across a number of levels.

The basic principle for all protection techniques is rights administration based on users and groups. To avoid unnecessary effort over this, FileDirector SBE sources all the necessary information from the Active Directory of a Windows domain. After this, the administrator defines access to filing cabinets, document types, documents and functions. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to maintain users and groups independently of the Active Director using FileDirector SBE.

The security concept is rounded out through intermeshing the Windows operating systems and FileDirector SBE:   Windows handles authentication, and FileDirector SBE decides which documents the user is allowed to access.
