Classification level is a unit of data classification defined by your organization and and will be associated with specific data handling requirements (e.g. storage) that you set. For example, you can create classification levels based on your internal company policies. Classification levels will apply across your organization, which means it’s not possible to create different classification levels for separate products. There are several details of a classification level you can customize to reflect your company’s expectations.

Detail	Explanation
Name	What the classification level is known as, for example, Confidential.
Definition	A user-facing description of the types of data that fall under this classification level.
Color	The color of the classification level badge displayed on a page or issue when it’s classified at this level.
Guidelines	A user-facing explanation of any rules and expectations around using, moving, or storing data classified at this level.
Sensitivity	A rank that determines the order in which classification levels are displayed. The most sensitive classification level should be ranked 1.

You can create up to 10 classification levels. If you need to create more, archive a classification level to create another one. Classification levels are always created and saved as drafts. When you’re ready for your users to start classifying Confluence pages or Jira issues, you can publish your classification levels.
