Notes:

• Only the end-to-end encryption policy is not enabled by default. The Organization Administrator needs to explicitly enable this policy. Administrators then need to create policies only if specific capabilities for all the users or specific groups of users need to be disabled.
• Policy actions cannot be enforced on users using third-party XMPP IM clients.
• No more than 10 VoIP conference attendees can be connected to the same VoIP conference simultaneously.

• External File Transfer
• Internal Desktopshare
• External Desktopshare

  The value for both "internal" and "external" must be set to FALSE.
