Lock Down Unrestricted Sharing

Allowing faculty to share content with “ anyone ” outside your school domain can create serious risks if left unchecked. While it offers flexibility, it also opens the door to unintentional data leaks , especially when sensitive documents or student information are involved. Unrestricted sharing makes it harder to track file access and can easily bypass even well-intentioned internal safeguards.

To strengthen your school’s data protection posture , it's best to align faculty sharing permissions with the safer policies already in place for students—such as allowlisted domains or specific people only . This approach keeps content secure, supports regulatory compliance, and ensures consistent sharing standards across your domain .
