DocuPro
Security

Control who can reach every document

Access in DocuPro is not all-or-nothing at the repository. A user's reach is decided by their identity, their group, the folders they are granted, and the metadata on the document itself — and the answer is the same in every part of the application.

Four layers, one answer

01
Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on
Users authenticate with the identity they already have. Joiners, movers, and leavers are handled in Entra ID, not in a second user list.
02
User groups
Groups grant what a role is allowed to do — import, index, annotate, approve, export, administer. Assign a person to a group and their permissions follow.
03
Folder permissions
Folders scope where documents can live and who can reach that part of the repository. Departments, clients, and years are common folder boundaries.
04
Index-based security rules
Rules filter documents by their own index and keyword values — Employer, Department, Branch, Matter — so a user sees only the records that belong to them.

A rule written once protects millions of documents

Because rules key off index values, you never grant access document by document. Add an adjuster to the Claims Intake group and set their employer; the rule does the rest — today and for every claim filed tomorrow.

The same rules apply to search results, workflow queues, printing, and export. A document a user cannot see never appears anywhere in the application.

EXAMPLE RULE
group = Claims Intake
folder = /BWC Docs/2026
type = FROI, C84, IME
where Employer = user.employer
→ 42 of 1,850,000 documents visible

Every version kept, original retained

Annotations, stamps, signatures, page changes, and workflow stage transitions are recorded against the document. Version history with revert means nothing is overwritten, and the original as captured is always available.

Security FAQ

What is index-based security?

A security rule that uses the values on the document itself — for example “Employer = user.employer” — to decide visibility. Because it keys off metadata, one rule protects millions of documents without per-document permissions.

Does DocuPro support single sign-on?

Yes. Users authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID SSO. Group membership then decides what each role can do in DocuPro.

If a user cannot see a document, can they still find it in search or a workflow queue?

No. The same rules apply to search results, workflow queues, printing, export, and the viewer. A document a user cannot see never appears anywhere in the application.

Is there an audit trail?

Every document keeps version history with the original retained, and annotations, stamps, and workflow stage changes are recorded against the document.
