      Policy Actions in Cisco WebEx

      By default, a newly provisioned Cisco WebEx organization has all the capabilities granted to all the users.


      Note

      The end-to-end encryption policy is not enabled by default. The Organization Administrator can enable this policy. Administrators can create policies when specific capabilities for all the users or specific groups of users need to be disabled.

      Policy actions cannot be enforced on users using third-party XMPP IM applications.

      No more than ten VoIP conference attendees can be connected to the same VoIP conference simultaneously.

      External users are users who do not belong to the Cisco WebEx organization. They can still use Cisco WebEx to communicate with users who belong to the Cisco WebEx organization.
