5. Global Settings
The following settings apply to all users and all files uploaded via MetaDefender Vault. Changing any of these settings will only affect files uploaded after the setting has been changed.
You can configure the default settings by going to Settings → Global Settings. Please note that you will need administrator privileges.
Authentication required
This setting specifies if the files uploaded using MetaDefender Vault can be downloaded with or without requiring the user to login before downloading.
Sharing
This option specifies if file sharing between users is allowed or not.
Advanced sanitization
Allows users to skip sanitization: data sanitization can be skipped when uploading a file if the users wishes so.
Block files without sanitization: this option will ensure that files that were not sanitized are not available for download and will reach "Blocked: No Sanitization" state.
Note
In order for this feature to work 7. Supervisor Approval must be enabled and 2. Multi-scanning and Data Sanitization must be configured.
