The iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) contains two additional admin settings as compared to the locally available local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml):

• allow_local_setting_override_list

• deny_local_setting_override_list

These settings help iManage Drive determine whether it should honor values specified in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) downloaded from iManage Control Center or the values specified in the locally available local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml), if one is available.

Any admin settings specified under allow_local_setting_override_list ensure that iManage Drive uses the values specified in the locally available local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml), while iManage Drive uses all other values specified in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml).

For example, if you've set delete_documents to true in the local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml) and delete_documents to false in iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) and you want iManage Drive to use thedelete_documents value specified in the locally available local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml), then add delete_documents admin setting to allow_local_setting_override_list in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) as shown below:

Local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml)

iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml)

Value iManage Drive reads and implements

Similarly, any admin settings specified under deny_local_setting_override_list ensure that iManage Drive uses the values specified in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) downloaded from iManage Control Center, while iManage Drive uses all other values from the locally available local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml).

For example, you've set delete_folders to true in the local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml) and delete_folders to false in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml). Now, if you want iManage Drive to use the value specified in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) downloaded from iManage Control Center, you must add delete_folders admin setting to deny_local_setting_override_list in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) as shown below:

local admin settings file (admin_settings.yaml)

iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml)

The value iManage Drive reads and implements:

If you have specified an admin setting in both allow_local_setting_override_list and deny_local_setting_override_list, then iManage Drive uses the values in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) downloaded from iManage Control Center.

By default, iManage Drive uses the values in the iManage Control Center file (admin_settings_windows.yaml), if present.

The following admin settings, if specified in the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml), are ignored:

• imanage_drive_app_data_dir_root

• work_server_urls

• user_role

• rename_work_server_urls

• drive_user_root_dir

If the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) is deleted in iManage Control Center, then iManage Drive detects this change when it syncs with iManage Control Center and automatically restarts.

If you choose not to use iManage Control Center to deploy the iManage Control Center admin settings file (admin_settings_windows.yaml) for your iManage Drive users, you can continue to customize and deploy it for your users manually. Download the sample admin_settings file using the instructions available in Downloading the admin_settings file manually.

You can also customize the admin settings. For more information, refer to the Configuring user settings section.
