Index Security

Index level filters for document types assigned to vault security groups can be selected in Sage Intacct Paperless. Essentially, this filters the search results of users assigned to the security group.

For instance, to limit who can see documents with “Job Number = 200” as an index value on the documents, set up a filter with that limit in place.

 

 

Caution

 

If done incorrectly, setting up security group filters can cause serious difficulties with document searching.
 
Consult with Paperless Environments' customer support if unsure how Index Level Security works.
 
Remember that once a Sage Intacct Paperless user is placed into a security group with an index level security filter setup, only those documents meeting that document type/index filter combination will be visible.
To view additional combinations, those security groups must be set up with the user assigned to the appropriate groups.
 
For an administrator-type user who should have access to all documents of a particular type--no matter what the index values are on the document--do not put them into a security group with filters.
