Control content distribution in the workspace

By default, all members of a workspace can send a package to the entire workspace by entering the workspace name as a recipient when sending files. To reduce the risk of a workspace member unintentionally sending sensitive content workspace-wide, you can restrict this capability to workspace managers only. You can also prevent all members and managers from sending to the entire workspace in this way.

When you configure this restriction, the To field in the Send files form does not accept the workspace name as a valid entry. Note that users can, however, work around this restriction by entering every workspace member name in the To field.

To configure this restriction, do the following:

  1. To configure the global packages app, go to Applications > Packages > Content control.
  2. In the field labeled Who can send packages to the entire workspace, select the intended workspace member type for this workspace: All members, Only workspace managers, No one.
  3. Click Save.The setting you choose here is inherited by all workspaces in the organization. To override these inherited settings for a given workspace, go to the next step.
  4. To configure Packages app settings for a given workspace, do the following:
    1. Go to Workspaces > workspaceName > Applications > Packages > Profile.
    2. Clear the box labeled Use global app settings.
    3. In the field labeled Who can send packages to the entire workspace, select the intended workspace member type for this workspace: All members, Only workspace managers, No one.
  5. Click Save.
Note: This setting is not available for an individual shared inbox.
