Prevent users from attaching unencrypted files

Modify the com.glide.encryption.enable_attachment_key_ui property to prevent your users with access to an encryption module key from attaching unencrypted attachments.

Before you begin

Role required: security_admin

You must elevate to the security_admin role performing these steps. For instructions, see Elevate to a privileged role

By default, users who have access to an encryption module key are able to upload unencrypted attachments. Use the com.glide.encryption.enable_attachment_key_ui system property to change this behavior.

When attaching, your users see a UI picker on records that have a multi-module encrypted field configuration. When this property is set to false, users no longer see an option not to encrypt an attachment.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Properties > All Properties.

  2. In the system properties list, find and open the system property.

  3. Set the value of the property to false.
