Understanding Meridian role-based security

Meridian uses a role-based security system that is different from Windows domain security in a number of ways:

• Users can be organized according to their functional roles, as opposed to the domain departmental groups they may belong to.
• It does not require IT department involvement to apply roles to the vault.

Meridian security roles can be applied to different folders and work areas in vaults. This allows the flexibility for role members to have certain privileges in one folder and different privileges in another folder. Meridian security roles are defined in the Meridian Enterprise Configurator tool as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
