Managing access security can be done at several levels which include
authenticating the user via password or digital signature, and by using
encryption for the documents or the session (VPN).

The issue of allowing certain users access to certain portions of the
archived documents depends on the abilities of the storage management
software component.  The system I use allows me to define access formulas
and attach them to groups of users.  A member of a group gains access only
to those documents that satisfy the defined condition.  These conditions
are dynamic and can be changed anytime as the requiremets of the
organization changes.  We can also use Access Control Lists to restrict
access to entire documents or to specific pages of a scanned document.

Let me know if you need more information.
