Who

Who defines which user is being monitored by CA Data Protection. When CA Data Protection detects unauthorized behavior, or user activity that it needs to control, the first question it asks is ‘Whose policy do I apply?’

For example, if CA Data Protection detects that employee Spencer Rimmel is trying to print an unauthorized file, it applies the policy for Spencer Rimmel’s CA Data Protection account.

Each CA Data Protection user account has its own policy. This policy may be uniquely customized for that person. For example, the Chief Legal Officer may have their own unique policy. More likely, users in the same team or department, or who do the same job, will have policies that are identical. For example, you may want members of the Sales team to all have copies of the same policy.
