security policies:

A user policy is developed and applied by an individual user. If you apply the same
security settings to various documents, you can save time by creating a user policy and
then reapplying the user policy to documents without having to specify the security
settings each time. User policies for passwords and public key certificates are stored on
your local computer. If you have access to Adobe Policy Server, you can also create a user
policy that is stored on a policy server and is available only to the person who creates it.

and is stored on a policy server to be shared by a group of users. Adobe Policy Server
controls access to PDF documents and auditing events as defined by the security policy.
You can use Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server only if your company has purchased rights
and made it available to you.
