Operational security

Operational security is the control of access to facets of an item that is the direct result of a system or user-defined process.

The predominant examples of operational security are:

• Workflow Activities - a Workflow Activity may be assigned to an individual or organisational entity.

  Either the assigned user or anybody who belongs to the assigned organisational entity must complete the activity.

• Check in and check out - an electronic document may be checked out for editing.

  While checked out, the document cannot be checked out by another user.

  Apart from the administrator, only the user who checks out a document can check it back in.
