Change the Global Policy for Archiving of Internal and External Communications

Topic Last Modified: 2011-01-27

The global policy is created by default when you install your first Archiving Server. You can change the settings to control whether archiving is enabled for internal users and external users. The global policy cannot be deleted. You can also enable or disable archiving for specific sites and users by creating site policies and user policies. For details, see Create a Site Policy for Archiving and Create a User Policy for Archiving, both of which are available in the Deployment documentation and the Operations documentation.

Note:
In order to configure and use archiving, you must first install the Archiving Server and the archiving database. For details, see Deploying Archiving in the Deployment documentation. To configure archiving support, you must enable support for each type of archiving you want to support, as well as configure and, if appropriate, assign policies and configure other options to control how archiving is implemented. For details, see Managing External Connectivity in the Operations documentation.
