For examples, if you wish that no user can send out a share that allows download, Toggle "Allow download" to off, then set "Can be modified when sharing" to "No".
Settings
These are the settings that define what the end user, the share recipient, will be allowed to do when they access the share

General Settings
These general settings apply to sharing functionality across the system and can not be modified by your users' when creating shares.
Allow external Share
You can global disallow sending out shares to users that do not have an account in iconik. This will completely disable external sharing, and you should tell your users that the documentation in help around sharing will only be for internal iconik users.
Search for users on share pages
Permits users when they are creating a share to toggles the user search feature for comment mentions within a share page. Setting this to off will make sure that share recipients can not search for internal users by name when commenting.
