Changing permissions on rights managed content for users must be enforced.

From Microsoft Office System 2010

Part of DTOO199 - Permissions on managed content

SV-33462r1_rule Changing permissions on rights managed content for users must be enforced.

Vulnerability discussion

This setting controls whether Office 2010 users can change permissions for content that is protected with Information Rights Management (IRM). The Information Rights Management feature of Office 2010 allows individuals and administrators to specify access permissions to Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, InfoPath templates and forms, and Outlook e-mail messages. This functionality helps prevent sensitive information from being printed, forwarded, or copied by unauthorized people.

Check content

Fix text

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2010 -> Manage Restricted Permissions “Prevent users from changing permissions on rights managed content” to “Disabled”.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
