If your team is using our browser extension for Gmail or our Outlook desktop add-in, you have the ability to set a default On/Off encryption state for your Virtru users.  When they compose a new message, Virtru will always be in the configuration you've selected. Options include:

• On: Virtru will default to the "On" position for every new message.
• Off: Virtru will default to the "Off" position for every new message.
• Last Setting: Virtru will reflect the state it was in when you sent your last new message.

Team Default Settings

As a Virtru administrator, you have the ability to set the default Virtru state for your users, as well as specify if they should be able to override your selection or not. Here's how:

1. Log into the Virtru Control Center and navigate to the Organization Settings section. 

2. Select the Email Defaults tab and choose the desired default Virtru state from the drop-down. Changes should save automatically.

3. You also have the option to Allow user override. This will allow your end users to set their preferred default state in their Personal Settings.

Group Specific Default Settings

As a Virtru administrator, you also have the ability to override the generic team setting and configure group-specific default states. You can specify if these users should be able to override their group-specific default selection or not. Here's how:

1. Log into the Virtru Control Center and navigate to the Organization Settings section. 

2. Select the Email Defaults tab and look for the "Group Override Encryption Options" section. There you should see a menu where you can select from a drop-down list or begin typing the desired group name. Once a group is selected, choose the desired default Virtru state from the drop-down to the right and click Add to apply. Changes should save automatically.

You can apply group specific-overrides for as many groups as you wish.

3. You also have the option to Allow user override for the group override. This will allow the end users in this group to set their preferred default state in their Personal Settings.
