Syntax

expression.PermissionFromPolicy

expression A variable that represents a Permission object.

Remarks

Information Rights Management in Microsoft Office 2003 or the Microsoft Office system supports the use of administrative permission policies which list users and groups and their document permissions. The PermissionFromPolicy property returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a permission policy was applied to the active document the last time permissions were enabled on the document.

The PermissionFromPolicy property always returns False when checked by a non-owner of the document, even when the user has object model permissions.

Example
The following example displays permission policy information about the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
 Dim irmPermission As Office.Permission Dim strIRMInfo As String Set irmPermission = ActiveWorkbook.Permission If irmPermission.Enabled Then strIRMInfo = "Permissions are restricted on this document." & vbCrLf If irmPermission.PermissionFromPolicy Then strIRMInfo = strIRMInfo & " Permissions applied from policy:" & vbCrLf & _ " Policy name: " & irmPermission.PolicyName & vbCrLf & _ " Policy description: " & irmPermission.PolicyDescription Else strIRMInfo = strIRMInfo & " Default permissions applied." & vbCrLf & _ " Default policy name: " & irmPermission.PolicyName & vbCrLf & _ " Default policy description: " & irmPermission.PolicyDescription End If Else strIRMInfo = "Permission are NOT restricted on this document." End If MsgBox strIRMInfo, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "IRM Information" Set irmPermission = Nothing
