Applying Policy to Classified Items

Which User Policy Gets Applied?

By default, when the CCS classifies a document, it applies the Default Policy For Classification. It does not apply the policy for an actual CA DLP user.

About the DefaultClassificationUser Account

When you install the CCS, a DefaultClassificationUser user account is automatically created on the CMS.

This account is used solely by the Content Classification Service (CCS) when classifying documents submitted to CA DLP by external applications. The CCS uses this account to apply the same policy to all documents that require classification.

When you install the CCS, the Default Policy for Classification setting in the machine policy defaults to this DefaultClassificationUser account.

Can I Configure the CCS to Apply a Different Policy?

We recommend that you accept the default CA DLP user account used by the CCS to classify a document.

However, if you are familiar with editing policies for individual user accounts in the CA DLP user hierarchy, you can specify a different CA DLP user account. The Default Policy for Classification setting in the machine policy defines the actual user policy used by the CCS. The setting defaults to the DefaultClassificationUser account, but you can edit this setting to specify a different CA DLP user account.
