# Security

Reveal Hold provides features to ensure the security of projects. Each project has an approval workflow as well as features to set roles and responsibilities of various users and maintain confidentiality, especially during a sensitive investigation. This feature is optional and can be turned off.

There are two main sections in the Security module:

1. **Security**: This part covers the creation and sending of an initial request for approval, and three tables:
  1. **Project Approval Details** shows who approved or rejected the overall project, with Approval Date, Type, Status, Priority, and Comments.
  2. **Approval History** lists approval date and status at the batch or job level with comments and assigned username.
  3. **Action** table allows selected batches or jobs to be Revoked or Reassigned; *Select Action* for checked batches and click **Run**.
2. **View/Modify Permissions**: To Assign or Unassign permissions by either Role or User. Clicking **Edit** to make changes shows **Save** and **Cancel** buttons.

Once the project is created and configured/scoped out, the Legal User must initiate the approval process to have the project scope/configuration approved.

### To send a project for approval

1. Navigate to the Security Module within the Project and select the **Send for Approval** button. This will populate a Pop-up Window with a list of your custodians and configure what you are requesting to be approved for processing within this project.

When the project is rejected or approved, an email with the approver’s comments is sent to the user who created the project and the user who sent it for approval (usually the same user).
3. Clicking on **Cancel** closes the Pop-up Window without sending the project for approval.
