Abstract
A cloud-based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration and/or storage platform/service) is described that provides advanced control tools for administrators of an enterprise account. The advanced control tools permit the administrator to set mobile security settings for mobile devices running applications that allow a user to access enterprise data in the cloud-based platform; activity notification archiving; support for multiple email domains; automation processes; and policies. The settings selected by the administrator are applied enterprise-wide within the cloud-based platform.
