## Policy Privacy

This property page specifies the default settings on the Privacy option tab in the Messenger client for all users (if this is the default policy) or for the users you select on the Used By property page of this policy.

After you change information on the Privacy page of the Default Policy object, you must restart the Messenger agents in order to put the new default policy into effect throughout your Messenger system.

After you change information on the Privacy page of any other Policy object, users must log out and back in to the Messenger client to see the results.

You can also specify privacy information at the User object level. Information on the User object overrides information on the Policy object.
