Downgrading security - information for administrators
- When users want to downgrade the security of a container and it contains a record that has a higher security level, then the container's Record Type must be set to Display Warning or Ignore. Other settings will not allow you to downgrade the container.
- You can set the options for security inheritance when records are enclosed in containers in Record Type Properties - General page Behaviour for handling more secure Documents and Behaviour for handling less secure Documents.
