Legal Settings Configuration

Introduction

Because of one or more legal frameworks around the world, some Myota Vault instances may need to display links to both an Imprint as well as a Privacy Policy on all pages (both in the Web UI and within email templates). An Imprint document is a legally mandated statement of the ownership and authorship of the Myota Vault installation. You can think of an Imprint as a rather fancy "About Us" page or an enhanced "Terms and Conditions" page; in Germany, this is known as an "Impressum".

  • Imprint and Privacy Policy links are shown on all public pages and in e-mail footers.

  • Authenticated pages, such as files app or settings, do not show them.

Some of the more global legal frameworks prominent are:

If you’re required to link to either one of these, you can specify the link to them in two ways:

Using the Web UI

In the Web UI, under Settings  Admin  General, under the heading "Legal", you can provide a link to an Imprint and a Privacy Policy URL, as you can see in the screenshot below.

The values entered will auto-save.

Using the Command Line

From the command line, you can use the the admin console config:app:get and the admin console config:app:set commands, as in the code sample below.

Get the current values, if any, for the Imprint and Privacy Policy URLs:

Set the Imprint and Privacy Policy URLs:
[source,bash,subs="attributes+"]
// Command-line example removed: administration on a managed Myota Vault tenant is performed through the admin console.

For more information about these commands, refer to the config command reference in the admin console setting documentation.

Viewing the URLs

Customized email templates and themes that were built prior to Myota Vault version 10.0.9 need to be updated.

Once the settings have been updated, you will see two links appear at the bottom the Myota Vault login page, one for each option, as in the screenshot below.
