Sharing Settings
Disable Publisher Reports Sharing. This will remove all encrypted Publisher Report data from the Sharing Server and prevent any future sharing or synchronizing of Publisher Reports.
- Note: If you later re-enable this, Publisher Reports may not be synchronized correctly.
- Note: We strongly recommend AGAINST doing this unless specifically directed by your local Branch.
Shared Persons re-verify period. This amount of time that passes before a Shared Person must re-verify. This is done by sending an Email Verification Code to them.
Disable Sharing
For security reasons, only a Congregation Administrator in your congregation can Disable Congregation Sharing.
- Click Congregation > Congregation Sharing > Overview
- Click Disable Sharing
- Note: This will affect all other Shared Persons, and will immediately and permanently remove all encrypted data and logs from the Sharing Server.
