Create a classification level
Data classification rules are part of an early access program. You may see a difference between the information below and your Guard administration experience.
There are two ways to set up classification levels for your organization. As an organization admin, you can start with a template of common classification levels, or you can create your own classification levels that you can revise as necessary based on your company policy. What is data classification?
Classification levels are created for the organization, which means it’s not possible to create different classification levels for separate apps. Classification levels can be used in Confluence, Jira, and Jira Service Management.

Option 1: Start with a template
A template gives you the opportunity to start with four of the most commonly used classification levels and explore what’s possible after setup.
To get started with a template:
Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > Data protection > Data classification.
Select Use a template.
Select Get started.
You can add to, edit, or archive these classification levels depending on what your company needs.
Option 2: Create your own
If your company has a data classification policy, you can create your own classification levels to match your company policy.
To create a classification level for the first time:
Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > Data protection > Data classification.
Select Create classification level.
Enter a name for your classification level.
Optionally, add a color, a definition, and guidelines in rich text.
Select Next to display a preview of your classifcation rule.
If you need to create additional rules, select Save and create another.
When you’ve created all your rules, select Save.
Any new rules you create are saved as drafts. You will still need to publish your rules to activate them.
You can have up to 10 classification levels. When you have 10 classification levels, if you need to create another one, archive a classification level first. How to archive a classification level
Make classification levels visible to users
Classification levels are always created and saved as drafts. When you’re ready for your users to start seeing or using classification levels on pages in Confluence or work items in Jira or Jira Service Management, you can publish your classification levels.Publish a classification level
