# Shared Links Settings for Your Enterprise

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "has_image , Shared Links , Admin , Enterprise Settings , Article , New , Product Utilization , Instruction"}} />

Shared links enable your managed users to:

* Quickly create hyperlinks to content stored in Box
* Copy and share those hyperlinks with coworkers and collaborators both inside and outside the company

Account administrators and co-admins can define shared link preferences for all content owned by their managed users.

If an option is disabled at the administrator level, it will not appear for:

* All managed users
* Collaborators in folders owned by managed users.

Change the settings at the admin level only if you want to restrict sharing access for every file and folder in your account.

## Access shared link settings

1. From the **Admin Console**, go to the **Enterprise Settings** > **Content and Sharing** tab.
2. Scroll down to the **Shared Links** section.
3. Configure how shared links are allowed and used. See the [Shared Links](/en/box-admin-tools/box-admin-reference/enterprise-settings-content-sharing-tab#shared-links) section in [Enterprise Settings: Content & Sharing Tab](/en/box-admin-tools/box-admin-reference/enterprise-settings-content-sharing-tab) for details.
4. Click **Save**.

<Note>
  **Note**

  * Shared links do not support multi-factor/2-factor authentication (MFA/2FA). If your organization [requires 2FA for managed users and collaborators](/en/box-admin-tools/box-security/configuring-multi-factor-authentication), recipients of shared links outside of your organization will not be required to enable 2FA to access the content of charged links.
  * If an auto-expiration policy has been set with a different number of days than in the shared link settings for your enterprise, the more restrictive option will be applied.
  * If there are contradicting expiry dates between the shared link auto-expiration policy and the enterprise setting, both will be applied. For example, if the enterprise setting is to notify the user 10 days before and the shared link auto-expiration policy is to notify the user 5 days before, these notifications will be sent 10 and 5 days prior to expiration respectively.
