• How long the document or content can be viewed or accessed.
• Preventing the editing, saving, or otherwise modification of the content.
• Restricting and preventing the sharing or forwarding of the content to third parties.
• Curtailing the type of operations that can be performed or allowed on the content, like copying, printing, or taking screenshots.
• How many times said operations, like printing, is allowed.
