User Guide

General settings

Configure organization-wide controls for sharing collections and creating custom attributes in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer.

The General settings page contains three configurable settings:

  • Share collections
  • Create Attributes
  • Ingest documents

These settings define the default behavior for users and can override individual permissions when applied globally.

Share collections

Controls whether users can share collections with others.

When enabled:

  • Users can share collections.

When disabled:

  • Sharing is blocked for all users governed by the organizational setting.

Changing this setting updates the default behavior for new users. Existing users are updated unless they have explicit user-level permissions set.

Users with explicit Allow or Deny settings are not affected unless you select Apply to all users.

Selecting Apply to all users overrides all individual exceptions and enforces the setting across the organization.

Caution

Disabling sharing automatically unshares all previously shared collections.

Create Attributes

Controls whether users can create custom attributes.

When enabled:

  • Users can create attributes.

When disabled:

  • Attribute creation is blocked for all users governed by the organizational setting.

As with sharing, this setting defines the default behavior for new users. Existing users are updated unless they have explicit user-level permissions.

Select Apply to all users to override individual exceptions and enforce the setting globally.

Ingest documents

Controls whether users can add new files to the organization.

When enabled:

  • Users can add files and linked connections to networked drives.

When disabled:

  • Uploading new files is blocked for all users governed by the organizational setting.

This setting defines the default behavior for new users. Existing users who are naturally inheriting this setting are also updated. Only users who have explicit user-level permissions override this setting.

Select Apply to all users to override individual exceptions and enforce the setting globally.
