I currently have a requirement to implement security on Document objects (non-existing, yet to be added) based on a property of type String/list in which based on the value chosen, the security of the object should change (security is role based). Please note that once the document is created this security-specifier property does not change
I had two approaches in mind. The first approach is that I Create a custom event handler to be triggered on create event, in the event handler, I instantiate a pre-created security policy and apply it to the object.
The second approach is using security proxy objects, so that each Role/ACL is represented by an object, and through the event handler I would assign this security proxy to the document object
My question is, does filenet content foundation 5.2.1 provide any out of the box functionality that covers this without customization?
Out-of-the-box facility to enforce security based on some property value is Markings. You should carefully study the documentation as there is some specifics and limitations to their use. For example, one cannot have markings on a property with choice list.
