About Oracle IRM and Sealed Content 1-5

1.4 About Contexts

A context is a type or grouping of sealed content. For example, you might have contexts for secret sales matters, confidential sales matters, proprietary research matters, confidential partner communications, and so on. The rights defined for each context can be very different so, for example, you might have rights to open, edit, and print confidential sales documents, but only the right to open secret sales documents, and no rights at all for research documents. Different users have different rights in different contexts. Save Unsealed Allows you to create an unsealed copy of a sealed document. This right enables you to create an unprotected copy of a sealed document. An unsealed document can be created using the Save As option in applications. An unsealed document can also be created using the Unseal option when you right-click a sealed file in a file browser such as Windows Explorer. Screen Capture Allows you to take screen captures of sealed documents. See Section 4.9, Screen Capturing Sealed Documents . Apart from its obvious use, you might be given this right if you have a legitimate reason to use an application that sends images from your computer to another computer, such as a web presentation product. Seal Allows you to create a new sealed document or email. Typically, if you have the Seal right, you also have the Edit right, so that you can edit the documents you create. However, if you have been given the Seal right so that you can use sealed email, it is possible that you will not have the Edit right. Sealed email usage requires the Seal right for email creation, and the Reseal and Reply or Reply Tracked rights for replying. Search Allows you to use Microsoft Windows search facilities to search the content of sealed documents. Unless you have this right, searches will not include the content of sealed documents. Searching sealed PDF requires a search filter from Adobe as well as the Search right. Set Item Code Allows you to manually set the item code of a sealed document. Item codes are mostly allocated and updated automatically, and reflect the name of a sealed document and the time that it was sealed. Not all sealed documents have item codes. You might be given the right to allocate item codes manually. If so, you will see some extra options and messages when working with sealed documents, and you should be trained to understand what you need to do. Table 1–1 Cont. Rights Right Description Usage notes 1-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle IRM Desktop If you are the owner or creator of sensitive documents, you can work with the rights administrator or, in Oracle IRM terms, the domain manager to create one or more contexts to protect that information. For example, if you are developing a new product, you might create contexts to protect the requirements, specifications, designs, market projections, competitive information, legal information, patents, and so on. Your domain manager can help you decide whether you need new contexts, or whether existing contexts are suitable for your information.
