Abstract

A system and method for restricting a client's access to sensitive material in a network document. The system includes a document storage component for storing documents having an associated level of access. The system also includes a server component for receiving a document request from a user, associating the document request with the level of access of the requested document, and sending a server request if the level of access is limited. The system further includes a document governor component for receiving the server request, sending a governor request to the document storage component, receiving an unrestricted document from the document storage component, processing the unrestricted document to limit rights according to the level of access, and sending a limited document to the server in order to allow a user accessibility to the restricted document.
