About This Feature

Overview

Chat Security Settings is an admin feature for WPS collaboration chat. It helps organizations apply centralized controls for chat clients and mobile devices, including sign-in limits, allowed link domains, external-open restrictions, and content-sharing controls.

Core capabilities include:

Open the chat security settings page and review available controls.
Limit how many devices of each type can stay signed in for one member account.
Configure an allowlist for links that can open inside the chat client.

This feature is useful for enterprise collaboration governance, mobile work protection, and external link access control.

Capability Summary	Centralized chat security settings include device sign-in limits, domain allowlists, external-open restrictions, and mobile controls for copy/paste, local saving, and web sharing.	Teams supports access and mobile data protection through Conditional Access, app protection policies, and app configuration for iOS and Android.	Google Chat admins can control external chat and restrict it to allowlisted domains.	Notion mobile supports app protection controls through Intune, including copy/paste, sharing, backup, and account restrictions.	Acrobat mobile supports managed app configuration for managed and unmanaged file flows, copy/paste, sharing, and managed domains.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings device limits, domain allowlists, and mobile sharing controls together in one chat security page. Distinct: selected members can be exempted through a whitelist.	Compared with WPS: Teams protection is often configured through Intune and Conditional Access together rather than from one chat-specific page.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat documentation focuses more on external chat and trusted-domain controls.	Compared with WPS: Notion mobile restrictions depend on Intune and are documented for Enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on managed document flows and mobile app deployment rather than chat administration.
