General settings

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

The General settings page contains two configurable settings:

• Share collections
• Create Attributes

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.

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.

Manage user-level permissions

You can manage user-level overrides in User Management under the Settings tab.
