Question:How to allow users to copy files out of Protected Zone by file type?
 
Answer:Administrators can allow users to copy files out of Protected Zone by file type. After the files are successfully copied out, Curtain will not protect the files anymore. Therefore, this function should be only granted to authorized users. All these Copy-out activities will be logged in Audit Trail.

P.S.
- No Approval is needed.
- If administrators want users to fill in declaration form before copying the files, the function of "File Operation Audit" should be used (FAQ 00261).
