Terms of Access in Document Room

Egnyte enables admins and Document Room Owners to create Terms of Access for Document Rooms to help facilitate compliance when collaborating on sensitive information. Admins and Document Room Owners can enable, disable, and update those terms as needed. Users must review and accept the Terms of Access before they can access the Document Room, ensuring that access is granted only after the required terms have been acknowledged.
