Examples of using Curtain access rights

For scenario 1 - "Force Save to Protected Zone" is enabled for MS Word:
- When a user tries to select "File > Save As" in MS Word to save protected documents out of Protected Zone, Curtain e-locker will block it and warn the user.



For scenario 2 - "Block Copy to anywhere" is disabled for MS Word:
- In Curtain Client, select a Word document and right-click. You can see an entry called "Copy to". You can use this function to copy Word documents out of Protected Zone.
