Abstract
A method for applying a common communication policy over at least two user groups of an organization. The method receives a communication request to transmit a communication between a sender user and at least one recipient user. The method identifies characteristics of the sender user and identifies characteristics of the at least one recipient user. The method further accesses a communication rules store common to the at least two user groups and determines the communication rules in the rules store applicable to the received communication based upon at least one of the characteristics of the sender user, the characteristics of the at least one recipient user, and the content of the communication. The method applies the identified rules to the communication.
