Last updated 2 months ago

An Encryption Policy is a set of Confidencial users that have permission to view content within a Confidencial-protected document. Every policy you create (every different set of people you encrypt for) is automatically saved by Confidencial and can be accessed later using the left arrow and right arrow browse buttons located above the Add person to policy input box. This allows you to encrypt for commonly-used groups of people without manually adding each member of the group to the policy one-by-one.
