First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a computing system comprising one or more processors, storage media, and one or more programs stored in the storage media and executed by the one or more processors to perform the method, the method comprising:
- receiving an input that selects, for a team, a first setting of at least two different setting options for a team shared link policy of the team;
in response to receiving the input that selects the first setting, configuring the team shared link policy with the first setting;
wherein the team comprises a plurality of user accounts held with a content management system, each of the plurality of user accounts being a member of the team;
wherein the plurality of user accounts is associated with a plurality of shared content items hosted with the content management system;
wherein each shared content item of the plurality of shared content items is shared via a corresponding shared link to said each shared content item;
based at least in part on the team shared link policy being configured with the first setting, rejecting non-member shared link requests for the plurality of shared content items while the team shared link policy is configured with the first setting;
wherein a request for a specific shared content item is a non-member shared link request for the specific shared content item if the request is via a specific corresponding shared link to the specific shared content item and the request is not associated with a user account that is a member of the team;
receiving an input that selects, for the team, a second setting of the at least two different setting options for the team shared link policy of the team;
in response to receiving the input that selects the second setting, configuring the team shared link policy with the second setting; and

Abstract
A content management system implementing methodologies providing retroactive shared content item links is disclosed. The content management system and methodologies allow a team administrator of a team to configure a team-wide shared link policy that determines whether non-team members can access content items associated with team accounts using shared links generated for the content items by team members. The team shared link policy has two settings. In a first setting, the content management system allows non-team members to use shared links generated by team members to access content items associated with team accounts. In a second setting, the content management system blocks access to the content items by non-team members. Shared links are retroactive in the sense they do not need to be regenerated after the team shared link policy has been changed from the second setting back to the first setting.
