Create a classification level
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 create your own classification levels 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 products. Classification levels can be used in Confluence and Jira.

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 admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > 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 admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > Data classification.
Select Create a new classification level.
Select Get started.
To create another classification level:
Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > Data classification.
Select Create classification level.
