Understanding the effects of security role assignments

The quantity of security role assignments on each vault folder has a direct effect on performance. The more roles that are assigned, the more time is required for Meridian to validate each user’s actions. For best performance, assign BlueCielo groups to roles instead of assigning network groups or individual users to roles. If you choose to assign network groups, use local groups and avoid using global groups. For more information on security role assignments, see Configuring the EDM Server service.
