Document module - updates to the document protection feature

9/18/2024 Personnel, Document Document administrators

Compliance is important for us at Simployer - and that's what this update here is all about!

In this release we have added an extra step in the process of removing document protection. While users with document administrator roles should have permission to view, also, protected documents - they should not be able to access these types of documents by default. Meaning  that document administrators, from now on, first must actively remove document protection in order to access a document.

This update is not equal to any loss in permissions - but will make sure that protected documents can't be accessed without someone taking a conscious action. This logic/feature is a "compliance by design" type of setup meaning that it's still the document administrators responsibility to make sure that document protection only is removed if/when there are support for this in, at any given time, applicable legislations, for example ones related to compliance.
