Setting Security for Attachment Types
Use the VA Attachment Type Security form to set security for attachment types.
This is useful when certain documents are confidential, and you do not want all users to have access. For example, you could restrict access to the HR Drug Test Results, HR Employment App, and other attachment types that are usually associated with documents that may contain sensitive information.
Assign security for all users prior to allowing them access to the system. It is recommended that you assign security to groups of users. Then, if desired, you can customize individual user settings. These access levels are available for attachment type security access:
Allowed – Use this option to grant access for the specified attachment type.
None – This option does not set any specific access to the attachment type. It is most commonly used at the user level to defer security to the group level.
See VA Security Groups and About the Interaction Between Group and User Level Security Settings to learn more.
