Element Level Security

Element level security uses protected paths to conceal certain elements in document from specific users, while leaving other parts of a document available to search and view. You can use element level security to control access to specific JSON properties or XML elements within documents. This means that specific information inside a document may be hidden from a particular user based on the user’s role, while still providing access to other information in the document.

Element level security can be used in addition to and along with existing document level security and compartment security. For more information about element level security, see Element Level Security.
